CodeNumber Safe [un]Safe: Bucks County Community College, Hicks Art Center

The premise of the exhibition "Code Number Safe [Un]Safe" was built around the concept of numbers and numeric systems holding values for safety and stability or on the contrary- impermanence and oppression. The cohort of artists participating in the exhibition use numbers and numeric identifiers to describe personal, process and historical narratives through sculpture, painting, collage or visual diagrams/images that symbolize spaces for realized well-being or containers of conflict.
