Nowhere Specific

The West lingers in the hush of empty parking lots, the glow of a flickering neon sign, the weight of histories both real and imagined. In Nowhere Specific, artists Tim Rickett and Joe Hubers navigate the quiet contemplation of a landscape shaped by memory, mythology, and forget-ting. Rickett’s work leans satirical, dismantling the grand fictions of Manifest Destiny with a sharp wit, exposing the illusions of progress and the hollowness of frontier nostalgia. In contrast, Hubers exhumes the soul of quiet moments those often overlooked, fleeting remnants of life that whisper between the cracks of a fading town. Together, their work becomes a haunting eulogy to the American West a space where past and present blur, where history stains the land like rust on an old truck bed.

Through collaborations with Epiphany Knedler, Dalton Coffey, and Joel Pickard, Nowhere Specific deepens its exploration of a landscape on the edge of the world, vibrating between permanence and impermanence. The show carries the patina of an old bingo hall, the faded glory of a once-thriving main street, the stillness of a highway diner at dusk. These works do not mourn what is lost, nor do they glorify what remains they simply stand in the in-between, in the dust-heavy air of what was and what might never be again. Here, in the Mysterious Else- where, we are invited to sit with the silence, to listen to the echoes, to see the West for what it is a space of longing, reckoning, and the quiet persistence of memory.
