To be transported via a portal, to have life simply transform. Whether mental, physical, or meta-physical, life is a practice in relocation. Based out of two carwash bays, Portal treats a space of mundane daily renewal as a platform of interpretation as to what it means to be transported, and how experience is altered by context. Playing into the exhibition space, Portal sees artists displaying artwork that embraces movement, change, and renewal.

While the visitor’s journey may not have an explicit beginning or end, it is sandwiched within these two vestibules. Witnessing artwork in this context, relating to a fresh perspective in an unexpected space, Portal provides a unique transformation of individual and space. The artwork within the bays acts as a guide through the exhibition, providing the viewer with a new outlook, a new experience, a new feeling, etc.
