NO PLACE LIKE HOME an art exhibition exploring memories of transition, comfort, farewells and returns
Featured Artists: David Fodel Brigid McAuliffe Allie Pohl Sarah Soriano
NO PLACE LIKE HOME is a multi-faceted art installation that explores memories of transition, migration, journey, comfort, farewells and returns. Four individual artists intertwine their experiences, thoughts, concerns, and reflections about traveling to and from home. Layers of imagery, maps, movement, and playful objects illustrate the transition from one home to the next, the illusion of home, and various notions of what home is, was, or will be. Each artist explores these notions in unique ways with individual attention to media, materials, and their own specific approach to the theme. A cohesive whole emerges from these disparate elements in much the same way that our memories of home blur, soften, expand and remix themselves over time.
This exhibition is the result of a collaborative project between Denver International Airport and the graduate Installation Art course in Electronic Media Arts Design, led by Professor Laleh Mehran at the University of Denver, School of Art and Art History.
