Osmotic Radiance: the annual PS1 art auction

Mustard-in-Law virtual reception performance

The annual PS1 art auction features diverse work by over 50 artists and supports PS1’s year-round programming and resources.

Osmotic Radiance is behind glass: translucent and protective, sheer and shiny, separating and yet transmitting rays into an adjacent void. This semi-permeable, semi-metaphorical membrane diffuses artists’ work into a public world -- a molecular migration or radiant flux of art towards spirit. Diffusion on the hypotonic, active transport, and well, why not, equilibrium. It flows both ways, but always towards the light.

Friday March 5 at 4pm - Saturday March 13 at 8:30pm

**bidding is closed**

work will be on view in person at the Chauncey: 404 E. College St. (at Gilbert)
