ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

norMAL and unreMARKable explores the space between what is considered “unusual” and “exceptional,” which we think of as both psychologically fraught and sociologically precarious. “Comforting narratives” and “societal complacency” conspire to make norMAL and unreMARKable subtly foreboding, particularly in an age when the abnormalities and fragility of contemporary life are frequently normalized. Through embroidery and drawing, I’m continuing to explore physical manifestations of environmental toxicity brought on by dependence on technology. Breaking from his social art practice, Henry will show multimedia installations that consider how the sudden realization in 2017 of his Stage 4 colon cancer has clashed with his artistic and personal mission.
