Gathered in the Tender Works exhibition gallery in a large circle were the artists – Tiffany Joseph, Farheen Haq, Kerri Flannigan and Chase Joynt – their friends and other visitors. The family, as well as one’s lineage, was a pertinent theme of the evening, even as the question posed to the artists related to the exhibition title: Where does the tenderness come from?
Video installations by artists Rachel Echenberg, Kerri Flannigan, Farheen HaQ, Elisa Harkins, Lisa Jackson, Tiffany Joseph, Chase Joynt, Amanda Strong and Nicholas Vandergugten, invite us to reflect on the different ways in which we might think about tenderness.
With the AGGV currently involved in a multitude of collaborations with artists and organizations, locally and internationally, Family Sunday kicked off the new season with amazing guest artists associated with exhibitions currently on show and in the works.
