Upcoming Exhibitions
Intimaa: Belonging

Past Exhibitions

Laura Schneider: Thymesis
"Thymesis" bears witness to memory as the fallible medium of self-creation. The exhibition features an "earliest memory" archive, old family photographs, mixed media drawings, and incorrect illustrations of the natural world.
Rand Abdul Jabbar: Earthly Wonders, Celestial Beings
"Earthly Wonders, Celestial Beings" conceives of Iraq as a spatial, rather than territorial construct, setting up a conversation across the past and present in the language of reverberating forms.
