Exhibition Opening: March 13, 7-10PM

Concertina Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Surrender Dorothy, the first large-scale collaboration between artists Jesse Butcher and Corkey Sinks. Mining the tropes of adolescent identity, both artists share nostalgia—even obsession—for the stylized rebellion of teenage subcultures. While struggling to find their own place in society, teens often dabble in fringe elements of the mainstream as a form of escapism. Surrender Dorothy will transform three of Concertina’s rooms into disquieting retreats of familiar adolescent experiences.
