Exhibition Statement
“A Hard Line” Adhering rigidly to a; is a collective art exhibition that explores the concepts of an uncompromising and unyielding opinion or position, whether serious or humorous, from societal structures or social behavior to personal dogma or theory.
The exhibition focuses on artists’ interpretations of these severe decisions on self and the challenges for individuals embracing the process of refusal to compromise their lives at the core and, subsequently, the world around them.
“A Hard Line” stimulates us to question our notions of certainty and conviction.
