GET RID OF MEANING.
YOUR MIND IS A NIGHTMARE THAT HAS BEEN EATING YOU:
NOW EAT YOUR MIND.

Dormant truths are attainable via intuitive capacity, enabling comprehension of the nature of reality. Where most everything is quantifiable and able to be broken down into consensus based truths, visual art is uniquely capable of accessing non verbal communications and concepts.

NOW EAT YOUR MIND is an exhibition of 8 artists collected intuitively rather than out of scripted curatorial process.
