the spoils: an underground gallery

November 23 – 30, 2024 

Brighton, Massachusetts

“the spoils” primarily refers to the diminishing of the value or quality of something. 

a rotten fruit; a moldy carcass; a dusty basement. 

“spoils” can also be thought of as the waste material brought up during the course of an excavation or dredging. 

the many meanings of spoilage invite us as artists to make sense of the decay and grime around us, and to use a wide array of visual language to interpret and communicate our own experiences.

In this gallery showing, we come together in a space of spoilage to connect through our artwork and transform the idea of the spoils through the act of creation.
