Join us for neither this / nor that, a two-person exhibition featuring works by current Resident Artists Dahn Gim and Anna Lehner. An opening reception will be held on May 11, 6–8 pm.

neither this / nor that is a two-person exhibition featuring works by Dahn Gim and Anna Lehner. Akin to a sketchbook page woven with dialogues of shared experience and exploring phase change through various materials as a metaphor for transient states of being. Gim’s artistic journey is deeply personal, influenced by her experiences as an immigrant and a 'forever foreigner.' While her work navigates the complexities of hybrid identity, assimilation, and dislocation, Lehner’s work delves into the intersection of geological phenomena and human experiences, creating a dialogue between human temporality and the vast timescales of the Earth's geological processes.  

Together, their work underscores the common interest in locating the fluid nature of things in between grappling with issues of displacement and idiopathic pain summarizing their shared dialogue, space, and time during their residency at Second Shift. It's about place and placelessness, not one thing nor another, neither here nor there, but occurring simultaneously.
