thresholds

One home is drowning and submerged, another is sunbleached, dilapidated but stands resolute in the sun’s orange glow, one is a web suspended in the trees catching light and attention, another is toylike, rendered soft and squishy. A home has more than four walls and a roof: it holds and hosts and creaks. It is a stage, a vessel, sometimes a place for refuge, sometimes a place for pain. More than a dozen artists from the Florida State University Master’s of Fine Arts program are exploring the dynamics of these seemingly simple structures. Through photography, painting, video, performance, installation, writing, textiles and more, these artists are examining the complicated space called home. “Thresholds,” opening Friday, October 29 at 7 PM in and around the Carnaghi Arts Building, located at 2214 Belle Vue Way, will offer three expansive sights for viewer engagement. Outside on the front lawn is a web and a sculpture hanging amongst the trees, inside the former middle school cafeteria will hold larger works and projections and further down the hall in the Working Method Contemporary gallery are even more videos, paintings and textile works.This event is free and open to the public. It is located at 2214 Belle Vue Way and will last from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Over a dozen artists exhibit their work exploring the dynamics of home at Working Method Contemporary gallery and surrounding spaces, indoor and outdoor.
