Check out 'Phantazein: Phantasm' curated by Gallery Intern, Genevieve Buchanan!

October 23rd - November 13th
FCG Pier Wall
Featuring artists:
Bernice Vincent
Michelle Wilson
Thursday
Chloe Serenko
Suzy King

Phantazein: “to present to the mind” or “to make visible”

Phantasm: a product of fantasy (i.e. a ghost), a mental representation of a real object

Phantazein : Phantasm aims to explore the mind of the artist as they breathe life into the thoughts that haunt them. Transforming the mental to the physical, this exhibition celebrates the power and processes involved in creating art from idea. The works on display are representations of a deeply personal and complex journey where phantasms of the mind become embodied in various artistic mediums.
