Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture in Partnership with the Highlandtown Arts and Entertainment District

Presents Pop-Up Gallery II, Wish You Were Here

UMBC's Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture (CADVC) will partner with the Highlandtown Arts and Entertainment District (ha!) to present Wish You Were Here, a pop-up gallery installation

A community opening event will be held on Saturday, March 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. Both the exhibition and opening event are free to the public.

Wish You Were Here, an exhibition by Lexie "Mountain" Macchi, interdisciplinary artist and CADVC graduate research assistant, recontextualizes the relationship of one leftover object to another, transforming and distorting the feeling of occupation, potential and space. Organized by the CADVC and ha! with additional support from the Highlandtown Community Association, this ground-floor installation calls towards a future of the space using the tools and language of its past—namely the detritus, debris, and accumulated silent memory-bearers within.

Hours

Saturday, March 3, 5-7 pm, opening reception

All other gallery admission is by appointment only, but the installation can be viewed from the storefront every evening starting at dusk.
