To Every Their Own | July 10, 2010 | 6 - 10pm

Communication is the great production of understanding each other.  A commonality of symbols or language used in communication is so central to a community that it becomes a large part of what defines it.  If understanding represents the community then misunderstanding must represent the individual.  That is what To Every Their Own poses through a series of prints, representations, metaphor and experience. 

Influenced by the works of Pierre Bourdieu, Andy Warhol, and Claude Monet, to name only a few, this exhibition aims to examine the interplay between the individual and the field.  It will explain how misunderstanding is not a linear hierarchy but rather a field unto itself where originality and experimentation run rampant.
