Greetings:

Tonight, Tuesday 9, the opening at Meta House of Everything in its right place, an exhibition by Christopher Bryce Morris Wise.  “I’ve always been drawn to the perplexing mathematics of interpersonal relationships. Recently, I couldn’t help but see everything and everyone as basic shapes – some that fit, some that don’t. Everyone angular, quartered. These shapes arrange-interact or overlap-in strange geometry. An ever-changing design that becomes a puzzle to solve, a spell to chant mantra-like alone. Solitary and separated, we exist in increasingly isolated spaces – turning inward. The square of an apartment, rectangular bed peeking at a door, the dull glow of screens reduce into even smaller vistas. Life a serrated keyhole that cuts ourselves out or in. We mystify demystification and conjure ourselves: the flat shapes that remain.”

Community Artists is a new effort headed by Chhan Dina to bring artists together in mutual support.  A collection of videos of individual artists is being produced – recently released are Sodavy Suos and Emily Marques.

Coming soon:

• Transit, an exhibition by Marie Le Mounier and Studio Images, at the French Institute, from June 16.  There will, however, be no public opening due to health security protocols.
• Thursday Tales has been relocated to upstairs at The Exchange, and will occur on the third Thursday each month.  June 18 will feature photographer Anders Jira, a performance by Mel Nutter, and Osokuma.
