2.27.21 - 4.11.21
Lyndon Barrois Jr Madeline Gallucci Zack Ingram

LVL3 presents 11, a three person exhibition celebrating LVL3’s 11th anniversary as an artist run space and online publication. 

11 will feature three artists who have previously participated in shows at LVL3. 11 is a palindromic number which invokes balance, tension, and harmony.  For this exhibition, we asked that artists present work with the form of a diptych in mind to honor these qualities. Diptychs are a unique mode of artwork presentation which not only allow for a sense of relationship and communication, but also invoke difference and antithesis. The empty space or joining mechanism between the works speaks as loudly as the work itself. As we move beyond the ten year mark, LVL3 continues our commitment to foster collaboration and connection through our programming.
