About the Exhibition

 

The Getaway is a collection of 15 pieces from the NIAD archive organized into a loose narrative about the desire to get away, to see something new, to be someone new.

The collection, composed largely of works on paper, evokes travel, getting lost in landscapes, and enjoying memorable meals, while underscoring how ephemeral it all can be.
