FUNHOUSE revisits the history of the Temple Contemporary Artist Haven through the layered meanings of its former name, treating the funhouse as both a physical metaphor and a collective condition. Like the mirrored corridors of a carnival attraction, the Temple has reflected, refracted, and occasionally distorted the identities of those who have passed through it. It has been a site of experimentation, community, friction, transformation, and possibility—a place where creative practices coalesce and conventional expectations are tossed aside. This exhibition embodies these ideas through the diverse and experimental media, new perspectives, and playful sensibilities of chant cooperative artists.
