Sharp Elbows
Michael Minelli, Rebecca Ripple, and Tyler Vlahovich
Organized by John Pearson
May 10-31, 2015
Sharp Elbows is an installation curated by John Pearson and includes the work of Michael Minelli, Rebecca Ripple and Tyler Vlahovich. The work in Sharp Elbows are held in composition by an exquisite tension that explores how boundaries (whether real or imagined) often bring into play the proposed limits of the body, of memory and lived experience. Within Sharp Elbows, these implied limitations elicit responses that are as tactile and suggestive, as they are fragile and fierce.
This is the second exhibition in the LAMOA Project series. The project space has been redesigned for this particular installation.
