EXCESS explores abundance and overindulgence in the everyday while investigating the confines of an interior space. Over 30 artists are progressively installing works from March 17 through April 12. As their works evolve and emerge they engage with other mediums in close proximity.

This exhibition is produced by Cantanker Magazine and coincides with the release of Issue 5 also focusing on the ramifications of EXCESS. Join us for the launch party and performances.
