“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming,after all, is a form of planning.” - Gloria Steinem

Art is deeply connected to our experience of the world, and taking in its material is one way inwhich we recalibrate our sense of it. In this vein, artists are uniquely primed to provide alternativemetrics for understanding how we intuit, parse, traverse, share, and value our uniquely humanexperiences. This is the common thread which weaves together the work of Yuk King Tan, AniO’Neill, Rebecca Baumann, and Jonny Niesche –an investment in transforming their viewer’sperception of the world and its material. Put another way, an interest in how altered, ambiguous,or re-contextualized perception (dreaming, if you will) can facilitate self-discovery, and bring intobeing new meanings.
