The Luggage Store Gallery presents: The Back Room

Guest curated by Rich Fonseca Daigle

The Back Room is an excavation and exploration into The Luggage Store™s past shows. The work in this exhibition is either from a past show, was donated to raise funds for The Luggage Store, or gifted to gallery.

Rich Fonseca Daigle has been working with The Luggage Store for the past year and half, helping to document and catalog work in the archives. The Luggage Store invited Rich to organize a show of this work. Rich says, œI initially reached for art that I loved or works that spoke to me – I chose Tobin Yelland™s flag collage piece as the launch point for the show because it said everything I could relate to about my own American experience . Working from that point of view, I selected additional works that describe my memories of living all over this country.

All the artists involved in this exhibition have had past exhibitions at The Luggage Store between 1991“ present.
