Exhibition Statement:  

Conceptually thinking about the past 18 months and how much has changed, how much has stayed the same, how  much of a departure from pre-pandemic "norms" the Clark College faculty have experienced, for better and worse, Lane  Departure stands as a gauge of distance & space and provides a unique pedagogical perspective on art making during  the pandemic. Pivoting has become an absolute part of the repertoire of teaching artists, if it wasn't already. More than  ever, the question of "How important is staying in the lines?", literally and abstractly, floods to the forefront. How has the  pandemic impacted teaching artists' ideas of boundaries and limits? The quintessential American road trip also comes to  mind - thinking about what it means to hold both possibility and uncertainty at once, particularly after a year and a half of  constantly changing restrictions, mandates, and lockdowns.  

We’ve asked the Clark College art professors to depart, in some way, from their regular practice for this show. Maybe it's  thematic. Maybe it's a new medium. Maybe it's an exploration, studies, sketches, etc. All work is new and made since  the beginning of the pandemic, inspired in part by the theme of Lane Departure.
