SECRET PLANET Opening Night

FROM THE ARTIST:

There are stories of what it is like on the secret planet from people who have been there. But these people can exaggerate and make things up from their own imaginations! The Reality of the secret planet can only be experienced by you. Someone might tell you that you will love the secret planet, because they loved it. Someone who hated it, might tell you that you will hate it. They could influence your thoughts and opinions with their thoughts and opinions! You could talk to someone who knows you and the secret planet well and can give you an unbiased view- that would be as close as you could get without actually going there. Or you can see the secret planet for yourself, and let your own experience inform what you think.

In order to see the pieces from Secret Planet, you must meet the artist, Neeka Allsup. The only way into the gallery is through a strange obstacle that takes a timed 2 minutes to pass. Please do not inform others with your biased experience, let them experience the experience themselves.
