Jane Lombard Gallery is pleased to present “say the dream was real and the wall imaginary”, a group exhibition curated by Joseph R. Wolin, that brings together eight artists who investigate walls, borders, and boundaries—both physical and ideological—and ways to think beyond them. The exhibition, featuring work by Margarita Cabrera, Anita Groener, Tom Molloy, Ambreen Butt, Becci Davis, Spandita Malik, Azita Moradkhani, and Kanishka Raja, opens on March 11th from 5–7 PM, and will be on view through April 23rd, 2022.

The exhibition’s title quotes a line from Richard Siken’s poem “Why,” which encourages the reader to dream of a life beyond borders. The artists in the exhibition do the same, envisioning an alternate reality where the walls we created no longer exist. Collectively, their work focuses on these lines of division, seen and unseen, so they may be someday be dismantled and transcended.
