In an age where ownership is a pipe dream for upcoming generations, where the facade of the all- powerful West is crumbling, and the East long ago dismantled due to imperial expansion, it feels as if nowhere is safe to run, no land of true asylum.

Climate change threatens our natural environments, public transit and amenities suffer from a lack of infrastructure, everyday essentials become rarities due to inflation, and the notion of education has greatly diminished in quality and worth. It now seems that the only respite one can find must start within. We are the home we carry everywhere we go, after all.

Deixis Gallery's exhibition, Location Location Location surveys this notion, posing the question of what it means for one to possess a personal map, which routes them back to themselves. What lies at the end of that map? Simplicity and primitive living? Is capital as pressing a need as society has made it? Where and when does community come into the picture, or are we forever doomed to an individualist lifestyle? How does one establish prime real estate of the mind, soul, their very being?

The well-known phrase "Location, location, location" coined by Lord Harold Samuel, a British real estate tycoon, emphasizes the importance of location as a primary factor in what makes proper real estate. When one looks at location, they take into account factors like proximity to schools, transportation, amenities, and desirable neighborhoods, which contribute to a property's value and appeal. Therefore, this exhibition explores what it means for one to consider location in their life when these traditional anchors of place feel increasingly out of reach.

Surrounding themes of maps, coordinates of the mind, body, and spirit, paths unpaved, and charts untraversed which lead to unknown locales, the group exhibition will feature a range of artists, crafting multidisciplinary works that speak to where they are, have been led, or where they are en route to. The works are to serve as coordinates for navigating our contemporary moment, marking territories where personal revolution begins and ripples outward into the world we desperately need to change.
