Chris Friday, Loni Johnson, and Chire “VantaBlack'“ Regans invite you to come home: a place of comfort, of safety, of raw intimacy, where one can be right or wrong and called out but never put out. Together these three artists use their distinct multi-disciplinary practices to erect and consecrate a space that centers liberation from the deep social practice of self-containment and self-negation. A house is nothing but walls; a home is an intimate space that frees us from the labor of adaptation, while also utilizing arrangement to guide interaction. The arrangement acts as a mirror, reflecting our placement and relationship with the world. Their collective work of material practice produces a place of reconciliation as we navigate through identity and memory. Curated by Pamela “Zee” Lopez Del Carmen.
