Current Exhibition: Cry Joy Park - Gardens of Dark and Light
When: May 17, 2019 - July 6, 2019
Where: Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art

Cry Joy Park—Gardens of Dark and Light is an investigation into the construct of a utopia, inspired by the history of Charleston, South Carolina: a cultural and artistic capital of the American South, and an exemplar of its opulence and beauty. This installation aims to present both an alluring, gorgeous and otherworldly garden, and its darker counterpart.
