Out in the Open is a solo exhibition by Gabriella Poulos, a graduating senior at KCAI.  Out in the Open explores pioneer America by reflecting on its history of expansion, conquest and hierarchy. Poulos considers how humankind has been led by the desire to conquer and tame natural wilderness and invites the viewer to consider their own relationship to the land, humans and animals.
