2022 Pougialis Fine Art Award Exhibition


The 2022 Pougialis Fine Art Award Exhibition features the work of 2021 Pougialis Award winners Nicole Leung and Cj Shaw. This exhibition explores the relinquishing and preservation of the artists’ former selves in relation to time. Through painting, performance, and sculpture Leung and Shaw use visual language to map out their own non-linear timelines. Time is a relationship of motions relative to one motion, like a clock. It is only when something moves, that what used to exist and is going to exist can be perceived.

Through September 15, 2022
9 a.m. - 5 p.m. 
C33 Gallery
33 E. Ida B. Wells Dr.
