Housekeeping is a retrospective....of sorts. At fifty, artist Doug Dertinger is “clearing” his studio of 30 years of unused images, dead-end experiments, and collected ephemera. Part Wolfgang Tillmans, part Marie Kondo, Housekeeping is a homage to accumulation and the delicate work of memory, both remembering and forgetting. The installation will be on view in Axis Gallery’s East Gallery Saturday, July 1 through Sunday, July 30th. Join us for our Second Saturday opening Saturday, July 8th, 5-8 pm.
