Shelf Life affirms the importance of an expiration date. In some cases the work is ephemeral discussing the relevance of longevity to the importance of creation. In other cases it is the concept behind the work that talks about a lifespan of some kind. Art attempts to defy its end while an art exhibition is created with the understanding that it will only last for a short period of time. This exhibition has a shelf life whereas the art in it addresses the idea while still attempting to defy it.

Exhibition runs through August 10th 2008

Exhibition Location:
3852 North Miami Avenue
Miami Fl 33127
786 217 7683
Design District

The space for this exhibit has graciously been donated by Dacra realty.
