Phantazein: “to present to the mind” or “to make visible”
Phantasm: a product of fantasy (i.e. a ghost), a mental representation of a real object
Phantazein : Phantasm aims to explore the mind of the artist as they breathe life into the thoughts that haunt them. Transforming the mental to the physical, this exhibition celebrates the power and processes involved in creating art from idea. The works on display are representations of a deeply personal and complex journey where phantasms of the mind become embodied in various artistic mediums.
FCG Pier is a community-focused display space named for the idea of a pier as both an arrival place and an exciting point of departure. When we think of a pier, we also might think of the word “peer” (meaning to look at something) or “peers,” as in our friends and colleagues. Finally, a pier is also an architectural term for a support structure. FCG wouldn’t exist without the hard work, heavy lifting, and support of our community.
