Terrain is proud to present a site specific installation by Jefferson Godard The exhibition will be open on Saturday January 22 2-4 PM. Please join us for the opening reception. The work will be on display until February 13.

Utilizing the architectural elements of Terrain’s domestic site, Godard’s work plays with notions of inside and out, surface and depth, illusion and real space.

As an architecture student at the Dessau Institute of Architecture at the Bauhaus in Dessau+Germany, Godard turned to video and film because it adds an essential fourth dimensional element to space. After receiving his MA in Architecture, he continued his explorations in video art as both a collector and curator. He has curated exhibitions such as “Overkill” at Mission Projects Gallery in Chicago+Illinois featuring Manon de Boer, Candice Breitz, EJ Hill, Diego Leclery and Casilda Sanchez; “Performance Anxiety” co- curated with Alicia Eler featuring works by Rachel Feinstein, Kate Gilmore, James Murray, Jeroen Nelemans, Carlos Rigau, Greg Stimac and Stacia Yeapanis and “Our Great Show” at Nice and Fit Gallery in Berlin, Germany featuring Kate Gilmore, James Murray, Jeroen Nelemans, Michael Phelan, Robin Rhode, Mika Rottenberg and Kara Walker. Godard teaches architecture at Columbia College Chicago.
