\u2018Where the World Breaks\u2019 opens June 6<\/p>\n
FERNDALE \u2014 A new exhibition is coming to Sophia Grace Gallery and will kick off with an opening reception on June 6.<\/p>\n
Titled \u201cWhere the World Breaks\u201d, this exhibition features works from Michel Angela Peterson, He Gong and Pacific Northwest artists Tom Sherwood, Tom Wood, John Cole and Kenneth Callahan.<\/p>\n
According to a newsletter, at the heart of the exhibit is the connection between Tom Sherwood and He Gong, who met in China during the late 1980s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir relationship reveals an often-overlooked aspect of Pacific Northwest mysticism: its deep engagement with Eastern philosophies and natural metaphysics. \u2018Where the World Breaks\u2019 bring this hidden lineage into view, connecting artistic traditions across generations, cultures and continents,\u201d the newsletter states.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The exhibition seeks to ask people to wonder the question of if art can continue to hold together what the world no longer can as it explores a shared human experience that seems to be fracturing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the opening reception He Gong will fly in from China and be presented with \u201cEdgeworks\u201d, a volume of ekphrastic poetry published by Igneus Press and written by Whatcom County poets based on He Gong\u2019s Maps of No Return exhibition in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reception kicks off June 6 at 5 p.m. at Sophia Grace Gallery, 2026 Main Street, Suite B. The exhibition will run through Aug. 29.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018Where the World Breaks\u2019 opens June 6 FERNDALE \u2014 A new exhibition is coming to Sophia Grace Gallery…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":459552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[442,498,499,500,501,156,218450,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-459551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-ferndale_record","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
