“One of the most important themes that artists address is our relationships to our environment. Molding our surroundings and altering our perception and awareness of simple spaces, these artists allow their audience to experience a common space (say a bathroom or a stairwell) in a uniquely memorable way. From Room to Room is no different.

The current exhibition by Andrew Thompson is physically comprised of strips of plastic bags tied together tightly and woven into the environment. Its beginning, as it were, is in the basement men’s restroom where they coat the walls and ceilings like spiderwebs. It trails down the narrow hallway, weaving in and out of locker handles and doors.  It floats on up the stairway, spinning and turning up two flights of stairs above the audience. Criss-crossing white/red/blue lines lead the audience into a women’s restroom. Here the grand finale, or nest egg, of a water bottle chandelier awaits. It hangs half over the top of the stalls, intruding on the sacred space, patiently awaiting those who’d enter the room.”
