Opening Friday, November 13th, from 5PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, December 5th
Join Art City on November 13, 2026 for the opening reception of Demi Sedrakyan’s solo show: Where One Place Ends and Another Begins.
Demi Sedrakyan is fascinated by what humans hold dear and the physical manifestations we choose to embody our memories. As we move through the world and leave what is familiar behind, shrines, statues, and photographs become a sort of sacred archive of what once was. Through exploring such motifs, Sedrakyan has developed her own kind of sacred iconography.
Each work is an interaction between symbols, shapes, materials, and the histories she carries with her. Forms migrate between objects and images, between recognizable references and invented structures. They overlap, repeat, interrupt, and support one another. Across the exhibition, these relationships create a shifting visual language, one that is simultaneously researched and intuitive, inherited and constructed.
For Where One Place Ends and Another Begins, Sedrakyan’s visual lexicon of motifs expands from the works to the exhibition installation, physically occupying not only the gallery walls but the airspace and floor of Art City’s MIAR Gallery. Unexpected, Where One Place Ends and Another Begins invites viewers through the looking glass to step into a moment of the sacred.
On view November 13 – December 5 at Art City. Public reception at Art City Friday, November 13, 2026, from 5-9pm
