The word "liminal" refers to the state of being in between two different stages, places, or conditions. It usually describes a transitional or threshold-like state, where something is neither fully one thing nor another.
We've teamed up with a new project space called Liminal Space and an older one, Queen's Nails... One was in Oakland, one was in San Francisco, and it was great, and it was just amazing the energy that was out there, and they were so excited and thrilled to work with us that it just kind of kept our energy going for travelling around.

I think it has filtered in as way to ponder experiences that occur in liminal spaces where different realities brush up against / slip into one another. (romanovgrave.com)
However, in this exhibition, tape feels circumscribed as a connector of liminal space between, as well as, in the service of the sculptures, becoming a literal gesture of connection rather than an aesthetic encompassment. (brooklynrail.org)
