LOOKING BACK IN FRONT OF ME
curated by David Borawski
Exhibition Dates: June 6 - July 5, 2026

There are three ways to curate an exhibition, choose the artist, choose the work or do both. For this Digital Grace exhibition, I chose artists from the ECoCA open call database. As I have done for most of the shows I have curated over the years, I look for work that excites me, either by materials, content or imagery. When put together in a mix, connections and surprises reveal themselves. The design and layout of the gallery, (in this case a virtual gallery) is what starts conversations and sets up the exchange of ideas. The work I have selected for LOOKING BACK IN FRONT OF ME hits on all those levels.
