Comforter, Curated by Petra Collins [March 13 – April 11]

Curated by Petra Collins, Comforter is a group show featuring artists Carlotta Kohl, T.V. Wade, Claire Milbrath, Nguan, and Petra Collins. Comforter looks at the binaries of home/transience and sanctuary/chaos, and how we experience these dualities in contemporary life.

From Collins:
Winter really gets me sad and depressed—it’s so cold and dark and most of my time is spent inside—so all I’ve been thinking about is the space I inhabit and its impermanence. When will I move, what stuff will I take with me, how can I make myself comfortable where I am? Living in New York trains you to treat everything as transient, especially where you live. I grew up in a suburb and then moved to the city and in both spaces I have had this despondent feeling that out of the tranquil sanctuary called home would come chaos; that at any minute things could just change—and things did change and will continue to do so.
