Empire Falls is a two person exhibition featuring the work of Nancy Baker and Oriane Stender at Flanders Art Gallery in Raleigh, North Carolina March 4 to 28, 2010.

These predictions are inherently troubling, for they create a tension that inspires a sort of Chicken Little mentality – a belief that any time of trouble is the apocalyptic herald of a collapse and restructuring in hegemonic forces. While not always universally disconcerting, it is certainly an unsettling realization for those who have benefited from the general prosperity of being a resident of a nation in power. Empire Falls, featuring works by Nancy Baker and Oriane Stender, examines the frailty and fragility of the current economic climate in United States politics. READ MORE
