Through Jan. 25

‘Obsessions’

“Obsessions,” on exhibit through January 25 at SPACE gallery in the Cultural District, showcases six artists from across the United States exploring the nature of obsession through painting, sculpture, site-specific installation, video and performance. Craft and expression are common elements in the show, with artists drawing inspiration from personal experience, popular culture and studio rituals.

“I’ve been thinking about this show idea for a few years, looking for artists that exhibit a certain intensity in their work. The idea of obsession is so common in American culture,” said Tom Sarver, the Pittsburgh-based artist responsible for curating the exhibit. “I wanted to include a mix of people from across the country, artists that I have met and interacted with at various stages of my career.”
