how often do you push yourself?

use this site to explore the artists exhibiting in the Phoenix, AZ show: "Comfort Zones", find artists from history that connect conceptually to their work, discover new reference links, embark on your own "instigative project" and generally think about how you test your and other's limits

the comfort zones exhibit…

Like the first polar explorers, ultra-marathoners, or Guinness record-breakers, individuals who choose to question boundaries or limitations end up taking risks that many aren’t willing to. Testing limitations becomes even more rare now, in a culture that is increasingly regulated and monitored due to a heightened sense of fear. Comfort Zones features 10 artists from across the country who share an adventurous attitude but who, more specifically, feel compelled to test their own limits, the limits of the system they function within or who intentionally impose restrictions on themselves to understand what boundaries mean to them.
