PRESS RELEASE

From the Keystone Gallery announcement:

Reliquary maps the intersection of the relic and its container through the work of four contemporary artists. Investigating the physical boundary of space, which divides the contained from the viewer, the exhibition surveys artworks addressing dislocation, disintegration, salvaged histories, time and memory. These divergent approaches engage the human condition through the familiar, the illusive, and the mystery between.
