Comforting Discomfort Exhibition

Comforting Discomfort presents sculptural, photographic, and multimedia work pertaining to assuaging distress and discomfiture. In a world of abrupt shifts in borders, ideologies, and human identities, these forms attempt to alleviate distress and scrutinize (well)being. Dalila Sanabria and Fiona Matisse Barney create works that stem from personal conflicts and an inquiry in failing to fully come to a comforting resolution. In this exhibition, Sanabria and Barney construct a variety of objects and unlikely creatures that explore notions, including the tensions, of assurance and comfort.
