This collection display explores how understandings and misunderstandings of value shape art and everyday life and impact how we relate to each other physically, emotionally, and economically.
Artworks by Pat Brassington, Peter Cooley, Robert Dickerson, Richard Giblett, Nusra Latif Qureshi, Catherine Opie, Vivienne Shark LeWitt, Khaled Sabsabi, Ronnie Van Hout, and Anne Wallace weigh on various themes, including the lure and limits of aspirational romance, social and emotional dislocation, toxic living environments, police violence, the ravages of war, and the impact of social media.
