NOW at the Corcoran's inaugural exhibition presents new work by Spencer Finch. This is Finch's first one-artist exhibition in Washington, D.C.

"Finch's sculptural installations, photographs, and drawings seek to capture the elusive space between perception and the outside world, probing the intersections of science, nature, and memory. Using industrial materials to recreate individual experiences or particular sensations such as candlelight or the wind off of Walden Pond, he also draws from historical accounts by poets and philosophers to explore the persistence of human curiosity" (continue reading here).
