Lil’ Gallery: The Place At Hand
Collaborative works by Ryan Rennie and Dan Scully
In “The Place at Hand,” Ryan Rennie and Dan Scully seek to create an understanding of object based signifiers. By enacting a narrative language, the artists push and pull at the boundaries of object/material role playing. The exhibition is a conversation between the artists that uses material and process to contextualize objects within a domestic framework.
