"Beyond Hope: Kienholz and the Inland Northwest"

The exhibition delves into the collaborative artistic journey of American artist Edward Kienholz and his wife, Nancy Reddin Kienholz, in the small town of Hope, Idaho. Despite their association with postwar Los Angeles, the majority of their lives were spent in the Inland Northwest. Renowned for their politically charged artwork, the Kienholzes' presence challenges the notion that radical artists are confined to urban centers, highlighting the fertile ground for experimentation in seemingly peripheral regions.
