Place opens new shows this evening. Place is actually three: the Black Gallery, the White Gallery and a video screening room.
In the Black Gallery is Wynde Dyer with Things That Aren't Safe Are. It is a process for unwinding paralyzing childhood anxieties around everyday household objects by exposing herself to them while reassociating them with pleasant memories.
In the White Gallery is Dark Element by Emily Nachison inspired by 15th-17th century books from Yale's rare book collection on alchemy. And Retritus by Karah Bruce-Larkin based on her ceramics practice.
The Screening Room has video by Nicolas Reibel.
