Death Planted A Garden
Curated by Pop Box Gallery, The Art Chose Me, and Queen Street Magic Boat, 22 artists traverse seascapes, dreamscapes, space-scapes, and soundscapes that span—out, up, inward, and underground—from the moment of a death. Visual, sound, literary, and multidisciplinary creators explore their lived experiences of loss: loss of a loved one, a culture, an identity, a pet, a neighborhood, a potted fern, a coral reef. How do these deaths connect us to rage, to echo, to revival, to breath, to hauntology, to the yellow Dollar General Sign on a hill once-wooded?
Pop Box Gallery brings zero-commission visual art exhibits and multidisciplinary arts programming to unexpected places. They work to connect local artists to resources, cultivate a culture of arts patronage, and raise the visibility of the Triangle arts community.
The Art Chose Me Increases Access to and Appreciation of the Visual Arts, working with value aligned institutions to engage historically marginalized artists and communities.
