But everyone is out of place

“A Crying Shame’’ (acrylic on canvas), by Johh Murdock, in the show “Out of Place,’’ at Fountain Street gallery, Boston, Jan. 2-Feb. 2

The gallery says that the show “reveals and repositions what it means to belong. Twenty-eight artists offer an expansive interpretation of the theme—spanning several mediums, scales, and forms. The work featured in ‘Out of Place’ could easily be construed as disparate or fragmented. Yet, presented together, these artists contend with structure, familiarity, and acceptance while pushing the boundaries of what it means to belong.’’
