Gallery 102 at The George Washington University is excited to announce Sensorium: The Art of Perception, opening December 1 and running for two weeks, until December 12.
On Thursday, December 4, from 6-8 PM, there will be a public reception with the artists: New York-based Talia Kirsh, Winner of the 2013 Phillips Collection Emerging Artist Prize Sijae Byun and GWU MFA Candidate Ryan McDonnell. The exhibition is a multi-sensory environment in which visitors are encouraged to explore the potentials of the human consciousness and unconsciousness. A space for both social engagement and intimate self-reflection, Sensorium is a respite from the chaos of everyday life, a source of inspiration, and an opportunity to learn about topics of wellness, alternative therapies and the imagination.
