Library Street Collective is pleased to present In an effort to be held, a group exhibition of over twenty artists working across media, who have developed experimental approaches to material and form, opening at the Shepherd on August 3, 2024. Curated by Allison Glenn, Artistic Director of the Shepherd, In an effort to be held considers the aesthetics of surface, and the processes of engaging the surface through transfer, collage, wrapping, and in some more literal cases, artists who consider how materials hold histories, mirror and imply surface, skin, and bodies, with consideration for the terrestrial, hidden, mythological, and celestial.
