Murmurations
August 25 - November 1
DeVos Art Museum | School of Art & Design 
Northern Michigan University

This group show at Devos Art Museum curated by Emily Lanctot draws from the last 3 years of Poor Farm Living in the Play NIDO residency in Monte Castello Di Vibio in Italy, co-directed by Mark Jeffery and Kelly Kaczynski.

The exhibition features thirty artists who participated in Nido (Italian for "nest"), an artist residency in Monte Castello di Vibio, a hill town in the Umbria region of Italy. The artworks highlight a wide range of subjects and a multitude of sensory approaches that distill, echo, reflect, and respond to a shared place-based experience.
