The concept of ‘place’ is central to many of the artists presented in Charlotte Street’s upcoming exhibition SITE Seeing.

Participating artists: Corey Antis, Marcie Miller Gross, Christopher Spaw, Vladimir Kristic, Armin Mühsam, Caleb Taylor

ABOUT SITE SEEING

SITE Seeing is a multidisciplinary exhibition connecting artists from Kansas City, Chicago, Portland, New York, and Los Angeles who are working at the intersections of architecture, site-specificity, abstraction, and perception. Ten artists and architects bridge geographies, philosophies, and material conditions to expand the meanings of space and address how identity and content is formed through this research.
