"As a compliment to the exhibition Imagining Home, Baltimore-based artist Marian April Glebes, in collaboration with the non-profit building materials reuse facility The Loading Dock, presented a project on the material nature of home. The collaboration explored what our homes are made from and what this can tell us about our shared history and sense of place. The project consisted of installations at the BMA as well as The Loading Dock, accompanied by a year-long series of public programs."
