Rochester Contemporary Museum, 137 East Avenue Rochester

Absence / Excess / Loss is a group exhibition of site specific, installation-based art work, curated by Marni Shindelman and Sarah Webb, which considers how the process of repetition informs memory and melancholia. Specifically, how does the creation of repeated objects relate to the act of mourning? This exhibition considers the work of seven artistseach sharing an affinity for vernacular and domestic materials in which process comes to bear as much meaning as the (final) object. Each artist will create an installation unique to the gallery space, considering how the act of repetition, and the making of multiples, generates memory and meaning.
