New Exhibit: White On White Feel the Beat, Imagine the Heat
“Whiteness is not so much a color as
the visible absence of color, and at the
same time the concrete of all colors;
is it for these reasons that there is
such a dumb blankness, full of
meaning, in a wide landscape of snows
– a colorless, all-color of atheism
from which we shrink?”
–Moby-Dick, Herman Melville

White on White: Work exploring the

duality of white. Featuring: Santa
Wolanczyk, Eyla Cuenca, Elizabeth
Bennett, Fennis Brown, and Genevieve
Senchyna.
