“Fake antiquities, false hope (devices for translating ancient feelings I don’t understand)” A new exhibition opening August 2 by artist Emily Gallagher.

Emily Gallagher uses sculpture and multi media to allow viewers to follow her artistic journey as she navigates many unanswered questions.

  “Messing up the rites of passage, objects and rituals for initiation maybe I have to create my own fictional solidarity

uncover, decode

tangible evidence

surely there was someone from all of ancient history that felt how I do?”

“I think I’m hoping for a kind of pathos exchange between the viewers, the physicality of the work and fragments of myself reflected in the work. Maybe it moves around between all of these in every combination, back and forth and some of it remains, absorbed in each object/being?”

Joining Emily on opening night are psychedelic rock trio’s Heavy Amber and Neon Goblin!

Doors at 7pm

Bands from 8:30
$15 entry fee to support local musicians

This event is sponsored by our friends and supporters of the arts, @Bodriggy Brewing company. The exhibition will be open 3pm – 8pm every day until August 15.
