There is a crack in everything regroups contemporary artists working in installation, sculpture, drawing, painting, photography and video art. The show stages the duality of existence, with some artwork emerging from darkness while others bask in the glow of light. The title, inspired by Leonard Cohen's lyrics, serves as a metaphor for the inherent imperfections and vulnerabilities within our reality as well as within the previously dormant space the show populates and brings back to life. 

The vast space still shows its defects as the artists imprint their own realities and dreamscapes onto its rough edges and surfaces, but there is transformation, instability, there is expectation. We undulate between chaos and order, soft and hard, organic and artificial, light and darkness. Nothing is fine, but you are.

Exhibiting artists include: Santina Amato, Amy Butowicz, CHiKA, Claudia Cortinez, Jean Foos, Tom Fruin, Tessa Grundon, Valérie Hallier, Leslie Kerby & Lianne Arnold, Christina Massey, Joseph Morris, Anne Muntges, Aston Philip, Matthew Schlanger, and Etty Yaniv.
