Art Exhibition and live sound experience

Published: September 25, 2025; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

Invisible lines of sight have threaded through artworks since antiquity — gestures, gazes, and compositional tensions that guide the eye without ever making direct contact. Liminal Spaces: Space in Transit explores these in-between zones: transitional spaces where movement, perception, and meaning unfold without resolution. The exhibition brings together ten artists working across various media, including painting, photography, sculpture, digital media, and performance. Each artist approaches the idea of liminality as a state of passage, ambiguity, and perceptual threshold — inviting viewers to inhabit the space between. From the tension of shapes in dialogue to the gaze exchanged across a canvas, these works reveal the invisible architectures of attention.

Featured Artists:

• AJ Lim (b. 1985), a New York—based painter, explores memory, place, and atmosphere through mark-making in a continual search for light. She holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design and is pursuing an MFA at the New York Studio School.
• Carlotta De Luca (b. 1991), an Italian visual artist based in Milan, uses photography as a conceptual tool. By isolating architectural and environmental fragments, she creates suspended visions that oscillate between abstraction and recognition, probing the ambiguity of “intermediate space.”
• Gary Duehr, a Boston-based artist, has exhibited internationally at venues including MoMA PS1, ICA Boston, and LACMA. Recipient of grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, LEF Foundation, and Rockefeller Foundation, his work spans photography, public commissions, and arts writing.
• Shayn Jackson, a Brooklyn-based 3D artist and industrial designer, re-contextualizes ancestral craft traditions of the African diaspora through both digital and physical media. His practice, spanning concrete, woodworking, and generative art, positions design as a form of resistance and reclamation.
• Xyl Lasersohn, a Baltimore-based painter, creates large-scale oils that explore the uncanniness of the everyday. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art and MICA, his work has appeared at the Butler Institute of Art, The Peale Museum, and Botanica Grove NYC.

Performances

The exhibition will also feature live and interactive sound experiences by DC Johann, Tumi Johnson, and Darren B. Singer, with performances during the opening reception and installations throughout the exhibition’s run. Together, these artists illuminate the subtle power of transitional spaces — both literal and imagined. Liminal Spaces: Space in Transit is on view at Botanica Grove from September 25 through October 25, 2025. Visitors are invited to join the artists on October 2 for the opening reception, share a drink, and step into the shifting terrain between form, perception, and transformation.
