About the Exhibition
TheBlanc Gallery in New York City is proud to present "Name, Place, Animal, Thing" a new exhibition, sponsored by ARAD Columbia University, that will run from June 16th until June 21st. This captivating showcase invites visitors to embark on a transformative journey inspired by the childhood game we all know and love. Drawing on the game's inherent ability to harness language as a symbol, this exhibition delves deep into the rich tapestry of meanings that symbols hold, each uniquely personal to the individual.
Through "Name, Place, Animal, Thing" we challenge conventional notions and traditional categorizations, urging artists to explore the interconnectedness of all things. By breaking free from preconceptions, we pave the way for new perspectives, untethered creativity, and fresh understandings of personal histories.
The exhibition will feature an array of thought-provoking and visually stunning works from a diverse group of new and talented artists. From paintings to sculptures, installations to multimedia experiences, visitors will be immersed in a realm where the boundaries between objects, places, animals, and things blur, giving rise to innovative interpretations and boundless connections.
The opening reception for "Name, Place, Animal, Thing" will take place on Saturday, June 17, 2023 offering an exclusive opportunity to engage with the artists and gain deeper insights into their creative processes. Attendees will have the chance to mingle with like-minded individuals and celebrate the transformative potential of art in an atmosphere brimming with inspiration.
Join us at TheBlanc Gallery, located in the heart of New York City, and embark on a journey of discovery. Let us challenge preconceived notions, redefine symbols, and together, create something truly extraordinary.
