Exhibition by DARNstudio Opening Reception at (Creative Legion)

(Creative Legion) presents Invading Spaces, an exhibition working in the vocabulary of souvenir matchbooks and felt to explore questions of signifiers and boundaries. How is space defined, and by whom? When does presence become intrusion?

At a distance, the works' patterns read as nostalgic and familiar. Up close, the pixels—each one a matchbook—reveal the names and faces of those unjustly killed by law enforcement. The intimacy of the material collides with the weight of the subject, asking viewers to consider how space, power, and belonging are constructed, controlled, and communicated.

Invading Spaces opens during Upstate Art Weekend, bringing this work into conversation with the broader regional celebration of contemporary art. The exhibition is curated by Tara Foley.

Attendance is free. RSVP is required.

Works will be available for acquisition.
