May Cause Ongoing Harm

Exhibition dates:

Open Limited Hours:
Thurs. – Sat., 12 – 3 pm, or by appointment

Come visualize through works by Jessica Tefft what happens when information is intentionally obscured. She says, “I got the idea for this show when I read the Mueller Report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. It felt as though I could not read two sentences without some part being blacked out – redacted – so the public couldn’t read it. But I kept looking at all the redactions. And I noticed the little black bars were often embellished with the words “May Cause Ongoing Harm.” If so many things could cause “ongoing harm,” I wondered, shouldn’t the American people know?”

Visitors will see many imaginings of ongoing harm caused by willful obfuscation conveyed through a variety of multi-media art. Many employ tongue-in-cheek commentary of the social, political, personal, world we live in.
