“I think there’s something to be said for assuring the next that the water’s fine – quite warm actually – once you get into it.”
 – Renata Adler

Buddy and LATITUDE present tend to, a group exhibition featuring works by Jordan Martins, James Hosking, James Talbot, Jesse Ly, Nika McKagen, Sonja Thomsen, and Cebe Loomis. How do we stay present when the uncertainties of the future approach? Art provides a world building capability for escapism and finding care for oneself and others. Whether it’s their etherealness, attentiveness, or quietude, the works in tend to offer us a reprieve from the uncertainty of the future. In that reprieve, we take a moment to tend to ourselves, each other, and the present.
