There Is Something About Spaces explores and questions the surrounding environment, the nothingness of both the collective and the individual that comes to make a space tangible. We crave awareness of what exists in the real and the invisible, in addition to the emotive capabilities and vibes a space emits and permits. Our fascination lies in how the human affects and is affected by the three dimensions. Rarely are we keenly aware of the systems we cohabit. We want to provide a situation, a framework, within which the human can focus on questioning and considering their being and mental state. There Is Something About Spaces is a collaborative exhibition, harmonizing and opposing painting, sculpture, photograph, subject, sound, and interactivity into a single environment. We are pushing what makes a space whole, and how ineffable emotions, movements, and rhythms are therein derived.
