Join us at Oliva Gallery on Friday, August 11, from 5 to 9 pm for the opening reception of BODY [ ] SPACE, a groundbreaking group exhibition curated by Elizabeth Hatton. The exhibition explores the relationship between the body and internal and external space through a diverse range of artworks.

Featuring the works of Adam Scott, Anne Harris, Elizabeth Hatton, Joanna Sit, and Michael Nauert, the exhibition challenges the viewer to consider what it means to inhabit a body and step into another’s experience. The works are interrogative, encouraging viewers to consider their own experiences in relation to what is exhibited, whether through humor, historical reference, illusion, abstraction, or relation to the environment.

As Aristotle said, “If the eye were an animal, sight would be its soul,” and in BODY [ ] SPACE, the viewer is invited to experience the soul of the eye through the expressive and thought-provoking artworks on display.

Don’t miss this exciting event at Oliva Gallery, located at 3816 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647. The exhibition will run from August 11t to September 2, 2023. For more information, visit www.olivagallery.com or call 847–922–5736. We can’t wait to see you there!
