Softer, Softest
Curated by Eames Armstrong, Softer, Softest explores the condition of softness: the digital “soft” and the sculptural soft. Exhibiting artists include Megan Blafas, Rania Hassan, Matt Hollis, Leslie McConnaughey, Rene Medrano, Ziad Nagy, Cory Oberndorfer, John Paradiso, Jane Claire Remick, and Jade Yumang.

Softer, Softest is an exhibition on being soft. Examining what it is to be pliable, or easily molded. To be pleasing to touch, not harshly defined.
