Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art (Tephra ICA) presents between a rock and a soft place, a group exhibition reframing the concept of rest as more than a reward for work but as a practice in itself. Bringing together the work of five contemporary artists, “between a rock and soft place” opens a conversation about negotiating societal structures that stand between the subject and a life of ease. Who gets rest and when? What is truly restorative? What permissions do we allow for ourselves to slow down, and how?
The exhibition is the 2023 iteration of Tephra ICA’s Mary B. Howard Invitational, a biennial program that values exhibition-making as a collaborative and generative process while supporting the development and public presentation of innovative new work.
