Marie Sester, Fear (a 2010 EMPAC commission) - photo by Kris Qua ON VIEW EXHIBITION Uncertain Spectator November 18, 2010 – January 29, 2011 A group exhibition confronting anxiety in contemporary art, Uncertain Spectator asks individuals to cross a threshold — to place themselves in situations riddled with tension, confront deeply charged emotional content, and grapple with feelings of apprehension. The works presented deal with a general mood of uneasiness arising from recent political and economic events that frames a future rife with imminent threats. Uncertain Spectator not only responds to these unsettling situations, but also creates them by challenging individuals to step outside of a place of comfort both physically and emotionally. » More Information INSTALLATION Michael J.
