Originally exhibited at the 2024 Mid-American Print Council’s Biannual Print Conference, and reprised for exhibition at the Morgan Conservatory, Genius Loci, the Pathos of Places will exhibit 15 contemporary artists creating works that explore the unique, interstitial impact of particular places using print, hand paper making, photography, installation and mixed media. The artist’s projects will each document, express, and expose, unique geographic places. Genius Loci, “the spirit of the place”, refers to a location’s distinctive atmosphere or a location’s protective spirit. Humans assign meaning and respond emotionally to places; both individually and in our collective existence.  Curators Arron Foster and Erik Waterkotte have invited a range of national and international artists to bring together a collection of 15 diverse projects inspired by specific places.
