Alter Space is pleased to present The Weeping Line, a three-person exhibition featuring San Francisco-based Koak, Los Angeles-based Mattea Perrotta and Chicago-based Mindy Rose Schwartz.

The body is a depletive metaphor
Exposing a sudden, physical rift
Distinguishing memory,
Unearthing decay in place
Slowing the process of loss,
Leaking that of an emotional drain.
