“This is uncomfortable” opens June 24 at Gallery TPW

After almost 18 months of work and feedback, “This is uncomfortable” is opening tomorrow night at Gallery TPW from 7-9 pm. Curated by myself and Arpi Kovacs, the show features five artists mining the awkward and uncomfortable results of interacting with other people.

Featuring Robert Lendrum, Elizabeth Milton and Sheila Poznikoff, Kika Nicolela, Melissa Pauw and Joshua and Zachary Sandler, the show runs till July 31st. A panel discussion, titled “Let’s make this uncomfortable,” on the relationship between discomfort and the ethical obligations of the spectator will be held in the gallery with speakers Jon Davies, Kika Nicolela, Matthew Ryan Smith, and Sharon Silwinski on Saturday, June 26th from 4-6 pm.
