Exhibits & Events

YOU ARE HERE at Box Spring Gallery not only invites the viewer to join artist Michael S. Heitler on city tours and sightseeing but demonstrates ourselves as a visual culture, where signs, directions, and advertising dominate. Easy to recognize regarding our daily experiences, our environment is both supported and informed by visual communication, and an enhanced environment can spark curiosity and even seduce. Here, icons of advertising are present in traditional painting and include textual elements, banners, flags, and bright colors. The title, YOU ARE HERE, is taken from the indicator phrase on orientation signs, commonly used in amusement parks, hiking trails, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. A place to celebrate where art and design meet, Box Spring Gallery provides carefully curated exhibitions, with opportunities to purchase contemporary art and design by a variety of creatives.
