Sharing a (S)hell

15 January through 12 March 2021

Together, we are all living through this novel moment, trying our best to keep our families and communities sheltered and safe. But it’s more than just survival, there’s an underlying gravity to all we are experiencing. As the quarantine becomes familiar and time seems to drag on, true discovery is found in the everyday.

While outside we tread lightly, keeping socially distant, our sanctuaries have never been so important. Designed with the domestic feeling of a true San Francisco flat, Rebecca Camacho Presents is the perfect gallery for this exhibition. The modest footprint offers comfort, while still allowing space for conceptual rigor.

The artists participating in the exhibition create challenging artworks that reveal a fascination with time, space, architecture, identity, and perceptual phenomena in general. With an interdisciplinary approach, their practices push experimental boundaries - image and object collapse, sculpture becomes image, and vice versa.

This is an exhibition rooted in, and therefore about: intimacy, loss, self-reflection, fantasy, abstraction, and change. Under the spell of this exhibition, magical moments of transformation feel possible.
