Contending with complex family history and fading memory, linear narrative quickly gave way to a collaboration that continues to take on new forms and significance as it evolves. This exhibition presents an intergenerational dialogue: June Southworth’s sculptures––shown for the first time in decades––alongside photography, video, and new media work by Simone Salvo that both chronicles and draws inspiration from their relationship; a granddaughter and her grandmother, in June’s words, “making sense out of nonsense.” Hours: Open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pmOpen Saturday & Sunday by appointment only.
