Oualie Art, a studio-gallery with a focus on photo-based arts for local, national and international artists and art projects is proud to announce Uncharted Territory. An outstanding Exhibition Event created and directed by Terry Boddie and Lorena La Grassa.
Uncharted Territory is a multiple site event showcasing contemporary site-specific 2-D and 3-D art installations, video and performance art. This is the first of two exhibitions that will take place in 2009 and are part of a long-term project, Sight Specific, which seeks to use installation and performance art to engage both public open space as well as raw interior spaces.
“The recent economic crisis, a historic political election as well as a planet in crisis, has presented unprecedented challenges. It also creates new opportunities regarding how we can respond to these challenges and re-imagine new beginnings for our contemporary society. In many ways, we are entering uncharted territories. This is the context in which artist are encouraged to approach this exhibition”. -Terry Boddie, Curator.
