Corkin Gallery presents “To Will One Thing” an exhibition delving into the intricate connections between human longing, built environments, and the pursuit of idealized societies. Through the works of Constantin Brancusi, Christian Butterfield, Miles Gertler, George Platt Lynes, Sondra Meszaros, and Leopold Plotek the exhibition offers an exploration of changes of visual paradigms. From sculptural expressions of yearning to photographic interpretations of erotism, the exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the ways in which desire is channeled through architectural forms and the utopian imagination.
