Lessismore Opening Reception & Art Performances

This exhibit showcases art that is born out of the few, the lesser, the bare necessities… Rather than relying on a false abundance of multitudes of materials, agents and devices, these artists focus on reduction, simplicity, back to the basics, the non-processed, and untamed. Concept by Simon Keller
