Exhibition Narrative
Antidote showcases work by seven artists who are founding, current, or past members of Dream Clinic Project Space, a shared studio and gallery in Columbus, Ohio. These artists are not only the architects of the space, but also working artists whose practices have developed alongside it. While Dream Clinic was built to support others, it has also become a structure that sustains those who maintain it.
Dream Clinic Project Space was founded in 2021 to create opportunities where few existed. An artist-run studio and gallery, we are committed to supporting artists working locally, regionally, and nationally through curated exhibitions, open calls, and modest honorariums. The space is shaped by rotating curatorial voices and sustained through shared labor, offering an antidote to an art landscape defined by shrinking opportunities and the decline of grassroots community spaces.
Making work, making space, and making time are inseparable acts. Antidote brings together distinct artistic practices shaped by different materials, themes, and approaches, united by a shared investment in creating and sustaining space for their community. This exhibition marks Dream Clinic not only as a platform, but as a lived practice, an antidote for ourselves and our community.
