Details

You are invited to a special off-cycle exhibition opening celebrating SLOMA’s newest Nybak Gallery exhibition, Julie Alpert: Strange Magic. Julie will lead an exhibition tour at 5 PM. The tour and reception are both admission-free and open to the public.

Julie Alpert will create an exuberant site-specific installation using ordinary arts and crafts supplies, hardware store materials, and modified household objects. In a single three-dimensional scene akin to a stage set, she subconsciously explores things like her 1980s suburban Maryland girlhood, the comfort and monotony of routine, the distance between our realities and expectations, and the nostalgia we imbue our collectibles with. Her intention is to spark delight, curiosity and wonder, feelings that come naturally to us as children, but ones we have to work hard to cultivate as adults.
