Shelter in Place, Shelter in Space

On view in the Vicki Myhren Gallery from January 7 to March 7, 2027

In a world shaped by environmental crises, political upheaval, and uncertain futures, what does it mean to seek shelter? Shelter in Place brings together contemporary artists who explore the tensions between staying and leaving, protection and escape, survival and transformation. Through sculpture, painting, film, and installation, the exhibition considers how individuals and communities respond to instability and what they choose to preserve, carry forward, or reimagine. Moving between lived realities and speculative futures, Shelter in Place asks how memory, creativity, and collective care can help us navigate an uncertain world and imagine new possibilities for living together. 

Featuring work by Larry Achiampong, Chris Bagley, Beatriz Cortez, Chitra Ganesh, David Huffman, Dario Robleto, Cauleen Smith, and Anna Tsouhlarakis. 

Curated by Geoffrey Shamos.

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, January 14 from 5-7 PM.
