Opening Reception for Tenet: Wall Begins to Know Itself
Saturday, March 5, 6-8pm
RSVP here
Please join us for the opening reception for Wall Begins to Know Itself, a solo exhibition by Tenet, curated and mentored by Maren Hassinger. Tenet, a collaboration between Julia Eshaghpour and Kevin Hollidge, is interested in the tension – and humor – created where architecture butts up against itself: where it has been renovated or erased over time, and where the past shows through, both in subtle traces and stubborn gestures.
A maximum of 50 people will be admitted at a time. No appointment is necessary, but we do appreciate RSVPs. There may be a wait to enter if the gallery is at full capacity.

Maren Hassinger (b. 1947, Los Angeles, CA) has built an expansive practice that connects humanity to nature through a range of media. Carefully choosing materials for their innate characteristics, she has explored the subject of movement, family, love, nature, environment, consumerism, identity, and race. In each context, the artist creates an eloquent response to timely issues regarding our relationship to the natural world and to each other.
