synaesthesia #1. group show   |   mar 2-23, 2024

For March 2024 the imperfecta art & design gallery presented a group show featuring artists Daria Loi, Deborah Donelson, Erika Rier, Erin Redding, Hannah Amis, Jennifer Gillia Cutshall, Marco Calvi, and Wynter Jones.

In this exhibit, "Synaesthesia #1," artists were challenged to respond to the most unusual challenge and series of prompts: they were given the portion of a poem, a sound, a scent, a flavor, a texture, and an image — and then asked to create a new original artwork by mixing them all up.

"I studied synaesthesia while working on my architectural thesis back in Italy,"  Loi says, "and continue to be immensely fascinated by the diverse ways in which our brain makes sense of what surrounds us, especially when multiple senses are stimulated concurrently."

While all connected by the same thread, all exhibited artworks differ in wondrous, exciting ways, demonstrating that our brains have an incredible ability to create infinite meanings and layers of possibilities.
