New York, NY, December 11, 2011 – Munch Gallery is pleased to present ‘Next to the Sea’, a three person show featuring work fromPierre Botardo, David Hochbaum and Jacob Dahlstrup Jensen.  Using the sea as a common theme, the exhibition explores the mixed bag of human emotion that floods through us when we are faced with an expanse of shores and deep waters.  From voyage and a craving for adventure to nostalgia and a sense of belonging, the sea is intriguing and reminds us how close we are to the next adventure and how far we have traveled from where we began.  ‘Next to the Sea’ plays on that dichotomy of wanderlust and nostalgia, and at a more intimate level the contrast between where we have been and where we will go.

The show runs from January 8 through February 5, 2012.

The opening reception will be held Sunday evening, January 8 from 5-8 pm.
