Exhibition Statement:
Universal Grammar finds its meaning in the fundamental. Inspired by Noam Chomsky’s notion that all languages have a common structural basis, we, the Thin Ice Collective have come together with a selection of hand-picked artists as one mind to test the limits of communication and reveal new discursive possibilities through various media. Each artist has explored the underpinnings of what it means to take part in a dialogue, not only in an intimate context, but on a broader social plateau. Some of the questions that we are asking are:
What does it truly mean to be understood by someone else?
What magnetism or repulsion occurs in the interstitial moment of dialogue that creates or negates understanding?
Have visual cues become a sufficient enough representation of the common ethos to make the building blocks of communication, i.e., words, superfluous in today's image-heavy culture?

Artists' Recption: October 13th @ 6-8pm
Roberts & Tilton is pleased to present Bliss, a group exhibition mounted in the 6150 Gallery Complex Domestic space. Interior walls of our own domestic spaces evoke ideals of comfort and security. Those same exterior walls have antithesis effect, touching on open space of the outside world. Resembling the shell of a happy home, Domestic encourages the visitor to observe its state, while questioning our own notions of domesticbliss. Each artist was invited to challenge the physical space by creating work that references the peaceable household - or, the lack thereof. Together, this medley of work hangs as a discussion of our differing notions of our private spaces.
Bliss features the work of: Serena Cole, Noah Davis, Jeremy Everett, Kyle Field, Amanda Kaplan, Uri Korn, Billy Kroft, Annie Lapin, Francine Lee, Amanda Lynch, Hilary Pecis, Ryan Pierce, Catherine Ryan, Sham Saenz, Casey Jex Smith, Zefrey Throwell, and Tracy Timmins.
