Miles Johnston’s “Interoception” at Last Rites Gallery.

Currently on view at Last Rites Gallery in New York City is artist Miles Johnston’s exceptional solo exhibition entitled, “Interoception.”

From the gallery: “Interoception” is the essence of our internal states of thought and feeling, covering a broad range of sensory experiences emanating from places in our bodies that we don’t always fully understand. This lesser-known sense goes beyond the physical and into the deeply emotional, affecting self-perception and ultimately placing emphasis on our metaphysics.  Our minds will struggle with personal and perplexing questions: Why do we feel empty inside? Why do our minds conjure desolate and desperate thoughts on loop as we go to bed? Why does our mind create a self-perception that oftentimes deviates from what our body already provides? All of these subverted questions build a platform for Miles Johnston to set up his compositions and explore the deviations between our internal states of consciousness and the complex, underlying reality of our life situations.

“Interoception” will be on view until April 21st, 2018.
