A True Thing That Stays Secret (September 28, 2024 - November 2, 2024) is a group exhibit at Troost Gardens featuring work by Erin Dodson, Alex Skorija, Leah Tacha and Katherine Toler. The exhibition takes its title from the text of an article by Alina Stefanescu, on the aesthetic merits of the ellipse in poetry, prose, and translation. She affectionately describes how these three dots can show the tension between what is revealed and what is omitted, what is spoken and what breaks off into silence, what points without explaining. The works by these 4 artists engage this tension through various modes of material exploration in response to intuitive and spontaneous image generation, emotional reverberations, or sensory experiences of the physical world.
