Opening Reception and Artist Talk: Dominic Quagliozzi

Join us in the Open Door Gallery for the opening reception of Home Body with artist Dominic Quagliozzi. Through various media, with a focus on drawing, painting, and performance, Quagliozzi makes work that deconstructs his lived experience with chronic illness and disability to explore personal histories and the domestication of illness. Using medicalized materials such as hospital gowns and clinic table tissue paper, Quagliozzi references his de- and re-constructed body, often present through its absence. His work aims to highlight the interdependence needed for healing and notions of longevity within personal and shared experience. 

The Open Door Gallery at the Worcester Art Museum (ODG@WAM) is a gallery space for artists with disabilities, created in partnership with Open Door Arts, an affiliate of the Seven Hills Foundation. Admission to the Open Door Gallery is always free.
