CHAD WHITAKER: GHOSTS
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 3 • 6-8 pm

This site-specific installation will be a visual exploration of the subconscious mind influenced by sleep, daydreams, and fantasies. The installation will emerge from the ceiling, walls and floor in an intricate, complex and vivid environment and will allow the viewer to experience a short-term detachment from the familiar, everyday surroundings. Portals and spaces are created where the viewers can dissociate themselves from reality.
