“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
—Ernest Hemingway
Guest-curated by Pattie Chalmers, Roadside Attractions: Next 5 Exits revealed a vision of the allure of the wayside through the work of five artists. These artists—Chalmers, Jeremy Jr. Kane, Peter Morgan, Mariko Paterson, and Nathan Prouty—created works that depicted the recollection of travels, a portrayal of collected memories, nostalgia for past Americana, and the desire to contain an experience within an object. Viewers recognized the expression of journeys made and imagined, and they were able to connect through their shared experience.
