About

Focusing on the unique materiality of the Midwestern aesthetic, this exhibition showcases artists who utilize reclaimed materials from the region's industrial past. By turning salvaged rubble into fine art, these pieces provide a critical commentary on economic transition and cultural resilience. The exhibition serves as a reflection on the changing face of the American heartland, emphasizing the gritty, tactile nature of contemporary creation within this distinct geographic context.
