April 13 — April 23, 2023
The exhibition 'Boil, Toil & Trouble' includes 50 contemporary artists working in a range of media who explore mystical, mythological, or spiritual frameworks and practices as they pertain to water. Artists selected have created works that deal with magic, ritual, the alchemy of water and the role of the ‘witch’ or medium in contemporary art.
In addition to a series of new works, site-specific commissions, and large-scale installations, significant historic works are on loan from the private collections of Beth Rudin DeWoody, Craig Robins and Priscila & Alvin Hudgins.
