Art exhibit 'Crawl Space' examines the hidden places that create firm foundations at MOCA

When thinking about where we live or work, we seldom consider a building’s infrastructure… those dark, dank, and often vermin-infested crawl spaces essential to access for plumbing and wiring. In his new exhibition, “Crawl Space,” the artist and plumber Caleb Jamel Brown uses the term as a metaphor for the shadowy places within ourselves that we must access to build a firm personal foundation.

“Crawl Space” is on view now through May 27 at MOCA (the Museum of Contemporary Art) in Atlanta. In this interview, “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes speaks with mixed-media artist Caleb Jamel Brown about the exhibit. 

“It’s a way to begin these conversations that we may be too afraid to have otherwise,” says Brown.
