PERSONAL CONTACTS #2 at Durden and Ray
Personal Contacts is a series of exhibitions at Durden and Ray featuring 4 members of the curatorial artists collective inviting 4 artists to join them. Each member invited one artist to participate for whatever reasons: shared aims, joint interests or hopes to provide support and a platform in a more community focused way in support of artistic peers and the struggles they are attending to; to see and hear others.
