Opening Reception, Thursday, October 01, 5-8pm

Maladies, a solo exhibition by James Hartunian, is centered on the language we use to talk about our bodies. He wonders about the strangeness and absurdity of having a body, and the visceral reactions our body autonomously creates in response to emotions and stimuli.
