“Like the body, landscape is something we inhabit without being different from it: we are in it, and we are it…Philosophy melts into impressionism; logic deliquesces into reverie. The object isn’t bound by our attention: it binds us.” – James Elkins in Landscape Theory

Absolute space is defined as “space independent of what occupies it: the space in which positions are finally determined.”* This exhibition considers the idea of attention as it relates to the spaces around us. The artists included create distinct spatial perspective to direct awareness and build narrative.

*Merriam Dictionary definition of absolute space.
