Discomfort was an open-studio based exhibition featuring artists from the ADiM community, including faculty, staff, and students. There were artists working independently and others in collaboration to produce artwork inspired by the idea of discomfort. Studio space was set up inside the gallery for each participating project.

Visitors were invited to  explore the temporary studio spaces and examine the work being created. If there was an artist at work, visitors could ask them questions about their work and process.
