VISUAL AND INTERACTIVE ART
2024 FEATURED ARTISTS
INSTALLATION ARTISTS
Specializing in the use of accessible materials including many found objects-particularly plastics, Michelle creates dynamic and thought-provoking installations. By playing with scale, she captures the viewer’s attention through objects of unusual size, inviting a closer inspection that reveals the true nature of the materials used. This tactile engagement challenges perceptions and encourages a deeper appreciation for the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary.
Sit/Stay Gallery is an informal non traditional art space outdoors. Located in northern Illinois, Sit/Stay serves as a space to show artwork outdoors. Artists looking to experiment or subvert traditional gallery spaces would be the best fit for this space.
Comfort Station is pleased to announce La Casa de Todos / Everyone’s Home an exhibition by Edra Soto that will reimagine the existing installation SCAFFOLD. The exhibition will be accompanied by various programs throughout the summer and fall.
