Where are we left when our senses fail us? Does something become real based on how it looks? How does it feel? What does it smell like? Or how are you able to remember it? Are any of these things actually important in an age of self consuming simulacra; where can an object begin if it may never end? Object Permanence as a phenomenon is described as “the understanding that whether an object can be sensed has no effect on whether it continues to exist.” Gathering 14 artists with a diverse group visual strategies, Object Permanence is not attempting to find an answer to these impossible questions, but rather commonality employed in diverse visual strategies that carry this thread within the contemporary moment.

“Six Trains of No Return collects twelve short stories and novellas that examine immigrant sagas and dislocations that are both uniquely personal and universal. These are the stories of past lives and loves, memories both fragile and unreliable, and our shared ties to larger historical narratives. …”
Author Maxim Matusevich, a professor of history at Seton Hall University and a native of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), drew upon his professional expertise and experience as an emigré to the United States in 1991 on the eve of the Soviet Union’s dissolution for these stories and novellas. Matusevich’s characters come from diverse walks of life, yet they remain unmistakably human—flawed, eccentric, and deeply relatable to anyone who has experienced historical upheaval, immigration, or the slow fading of stability.
