a FAIR: Curated by: Caitlin Gill (Caidy Lynn). On View: September 11 - October 17, 2025. Reception + BROMO Art Walk: Thursday, September 11 | 5 PM to 9 PM Location: 218 West Saratoga St. Baltimore, MD 21201 | 3RD FLOOR Exhibition Statement: a FAIR, aims to explore our complicated and often hypocritical relationship with animals through semiotic theory, geographic and emotional dissonance and the taxonomy. [State] fair culture is a phenomenon in which urban, suburban and rural communities “reconnect” with nature - this dichotomy is inherently fascinating as it often results in an unacknowledged tension between the emotionally objectified animal versus the commodified animal. a FAIR invites artists who are investigating these nuanced and often contradictory human/animal interactions. Animal as allegory, animal as critique, animal as myth, - let’s unpack the pervasive exploitation and celebration of all things animal.
