TAG | The Art Gallery is pleased to present Seen / Unseen, a group exhibition on view from June 5 through June 28, 2026, bringing together contemporary artists whose work explores the shifting threshold between visibility and obscurity, presence and absence, revelation and concealment. 

Featuring works by Alix White, Amalia Tagaris, Angus Schaefer, Anne Diamond McNevin, Betsy Weisberg, Cristina Bozas, Edward Rocha, Fernando Fula, Francien Zaslow, Gabriel Feld, Janet Lincoln, Jesse Meserve, Kris Laping, Lisa Penny, Margarita Krylova, Mark Jarzombek, Michael Benari, Michelle Lander Feinberg, Monica DeSalvo, Muriel Angelil, Peter Sandback, R. Douglass Rice, Tom Babbitt, Warren Mather, Wyatt Freed, and Yildiz Grodowski, the exhibition considers the ways artists navigate the space between what is visible and what remains hidden beneath the surface. 

As artists continually translate sensation, memory, emotion, and intuition into form, they occupy a unique position within this threshold. Their work reveals what is overlooked, questions what is assumed, and gives shape to experiences that are often difficult to articulate. In Seen / Unseen, participating artists engage with this dynamic boundary through diverse materials, visual languages, and conceptual approaches. 

The exhibition invites viewers to consider what becomes visible through light, time, and sustained attention, and what continues to resist clarity. Some works explore perception and illusion, while others examine identity, memory, erasure, transformation, growth, and decay. Across the exhibition, surfaces become sites of tension where presence and absence coexist, and where meaning emerges gradually rather than immediately. 

Rather than offering definitive answers, Seen / Unseen embraces ambiguity and complexity. Some works reveal themselves slowly through subtle shifts in texture, composition, or atmosphere; others intentionally obscure, fragment, or distort familiar imagery. Together, the exhibition proposes that seeing is never neutral, but shaped by personal experience, cultural narratives, memory, and emotion.

Through painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and abstraction, the artists in Seen / Unseen invite audiences into a process of looking that is reflective, layered, and deeply human. The exhibition ultimately asks not only what we see, but how we see, and what remains just beyond visibility.
