CURATORIAL STATEMENT
A Cage performance
FULL CHECKLIST

Don’t Believe Everything You Think, is an exhibition that explores how artists manage the universal impulse of negative self-talk through their artistic practice. Working across multiple disciplines: painting, collage, sculpture, photography, performance, video, and sound, the 14 featured artists exert concerted effort to push past, accept, or prevail over their own negative self-talk. Through the sanative process of their art—from genesis, to creation, and finally presentation—they have learned that it is best to not always believe everything you think.

Artists in the Exhibition: Sacha Halona Baumann, Adrienne DeVine, Alexandra Grant, Iva Gueorguieva, Bettina Hubby, Janna Ireland, Galia Linn, Amanda Maciel Antunes, Erin Morrison, Jacky Perez, Alicia Piller, Madaline Riley, Elena Stonaker, Camilla Taylor.
