A SENSE OF PLACE, SOUTHAMPTON ARTS CENTER

A Sense of Place

A place can be interpreted in multifold ways. Geography and the natural environment most certainly play a big role in it.

This exhibition is envisioned as a dialogue among artists reflecting in different ways their own concept of ‘A Sense of Place’, might it be in a physical manner or as a conceptual reflection what an environment can be.

Artists leave marks to define their spaces physically and emotionally. On the eastern tip of Long Island we are surrounded by a unique formation of geology and geography, and by a particular sense of natural beauty and complexity of man-made markings, that is an invitation to reflect on one's sense of place and identity.

Artists include Philippe Cheng, Louise Eastman with Janis Stemmermann, Christopher French, Saskia Friedrich, Mary Heilmann, Toni Ross, Bastienne Schmidt, Michelle Stuart, Edwina von Gal and the Perfect Earth Project, and Almond Zigmund.
