A new immersive installation titled "How to Have a Flying Dream" by interdisciplinary artist Nancy Dewhurst opens at Gallery One’s Art Vault in Albuquerque, with a reception on May 15. The installation explores the phenomenon of flying dreams through objects, dream journaling, immersive imagery, and a digitized 16 mm film projected onto the ceiling, inviting visitors to engage in dream training exercises.
The exhibition matters because it transforms the Art Vault into an archive of Dewhurst’s investigations into lucid dreaming as a metaphor for autonomy and desire, blending playful elements with complex questions about consciousness and alternate realities. It offers the public free access to a speculative, research-driven art experience that bridges personal psyche and broader societal negotiations.
