Nelleke Nix at SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery, 22nd Apr to 17th of May

Exhibition Description:

An installation about our changing world including a participatory work titled, Open the Door Richard.

"In Hotspots and Canaries [Nix] observes what is occurring in our changing world. Offspring is born. Vegetation sprouts. But, as in coalmines where canaries warned for dangerous conditions, there are the signs of negative development. A participatory work, for which a call to artists went out to candidly voice their positive and negative observations, is aptly titled Open the Door Richard." Rick Danson for Roving Critic.
