Craig Whitten expands his well-received Airship Series into a large-scale, immersive
exhibition in collaboration with writer Mika Yamamoto. Born of an explorative impulse, this body of work pursues the imaginative potential of airships. This marks the beginning of the second collaboration between Whitten and Mika Yamamoto.
Dispatches and Daydreams is envisioned as a first step—an opening movement of a
longer journey. Whitten and Yamamoto’s core belief is to honor the organic process of
dialogue between image and text—where neither are prioritized. Viewers are also
welcomed into this ever-evolving conversation as co-creators of a better world. This exhibit featuring Craig’s and Mika’s creative collaboration. The opening is May 15, 6-9 p.m. and runs through July 11.
