Coming Soon to the Gallery
I DON’T DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE | MOM (Brooke Chaney)
October 5 – November 15, 2024
Reception: October 5, 6 – 8 PM | Artist Talk: November 9, 2 – 3 PM+
In I DON’T DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE, Chaney uses vibrant colors, abstract forms, and dimensional elements to construct landscapes that evoke dreams, memories, and parallel realities—spaces where past, present, and future converge. These imagined landscapes exist as contemplative spaces, a space to pause and reflect on themes of personal narrative and the transient nature of time. Inspired by feelings of temporal displacement, I DON’T DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE examines the relationship between linear and cyclical time, questioning how these concepts shape our perception of life and encouraging viewers to discover their own narratives within them.
The artist will present a gallery talk on November 9, 2024 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM in the OC3 Gallery at Oak Cliff Cultural Center.
