Dreamsong is pleased to present Fill the Void, a group exhibition featuring work by Cory Arcangel, Sadie Barnette, Crystal Z Campbell, Jonathon Rosemond, Gary Simmons, Joe Smith and Paul Anthony Smith.

The interruption of the pictorial subject by concealment, obfuscation, or erasure disturbs the viewer’s passive consumption of art, creating tension between visibility and invisibility, tempering legibility, and interrogating the misrepresentation of marginalized subjects. Working from archives or other readymade materials, the artists in Fill the Void make meaning through extractive interventions. Transformed through various processes and material engagement, the works in this group exhibition highlight the powerful presence of absence while evoking spectral memories and ghostly residues. In these works, the void is full of meaning.
