Je Ne Sais Quoi

A group of ten women were chosen all using different mediums to express themselves in visual and tangible forms. “Je ne sais quoi” means in English- I do not know what. As in many languages, that “something” gets lost in translation. Just as in the verbal, the visual translation can be elusive.

Curated by Mimi Kapiloff

Artists: Melissa Dickenson / Andrea Guay / Cara Ober / Nancy Valk / Glora Askin / Marcia / Ray Wolfson / Peggy Fox / Edna Emmet / Rachel Rotenburg / Michelle Woodward
