Brent Green- Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then plays November 5-December 18, 1010
Opening Reception: Friday, November 5, 6-9pm
Opening Night Performance: 7:30pm

Pennsylvania-based artist and filmmaker Brent Green returns with his latest work Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then, a whimsical installation of video, sculpture and sound featuring an opening night performance by Green and his collaborator, musician Donna K. The exhibition named after Green's first feature length film, is inspired by the true story of Leonard Wood, an eccentric hardware store clerk from Louisville, Kentucky. The story follows Woods decades-long quest to build a strange and wonderful house that could function as a healing machine to save his wife's life after she was diagnosed with cancer.
