Wrestling the wreckage of memory and myth, the winter show at Wassaic Project—called "This Must Be The Place"—transforms the towering floors of Maxon Mills into a labyrinth of longing, lineage and reinvention. Eleven artists conjure ancestral fiber work, collaged textiles, light-punctured paper reliefs and surreal projection-mapped environments that evoke the sacred, the speculative and the seam-bound mythos of home. From the tattoo-rooted weaving of Meli Bandera to the Black-futurist visions of Antonio Scott Nichols, the show folds past and present into one cryptic domestic dream.
