SOPHIE REINHOLD
I STARTED A JOKE Aug 31 - Nov 2, 2024 This confession kicks off the eponymous song by alternative rock band Faith No More, a cover of the Bee Gees original from 1968.

EMMA MCMILLAN
Haruspex Feb 3 - Mar 16, 2024 Before Christianity became the dominant religion of Rome, among the many pagan rituals that governed that time was haruspicy, a form of divination that sought answers in the entrails of sacrificed animals.

MONIKA EMMANUELLE KAZI
Homes less, home spells Feb 3 - Mar 16, 2024 When we return to our apartment after several weeks of travel, our three-month-old baby looks around, wide eyed, examines the objects in the living room, and responds attentively to all the familiar noises: the closet door, the noise of wheels when his little bed is rolled over the parquet floor,...

Heroic Protagonists
Group Exhibition Dec 8, 2023 - Jan 20, 2024 We are thrilled to present the exhibition, Heroic Protagonists.

Cassidy Toner
Almost Xerox Oct 27 - Dec 2, 2023 We are thrilled to present the third solo exhibition by Cassidy Toner.

Lou Cohen
NOT A COMEDY Oct 27 - Dec 2, 2023 “Who is this who without being dead goes through the kingdom of the dead?” These words from the Divine Comedy are not included in the video by Lou Cohen, who nevertheless chose certain passages offered as a pretext for a strange group of shadows, struggling with failure, standing still and...

Sophie Reinhold
Mercedes Benz Nov 11, 2022 - Jan 21, 2023 Groups of works might be made for exhibitions, but they must hold up on their own.

CEYLAN ÖZTRÜK
Self-specular, a moment Apr 28 - May 28, 2022 Looking at Ceylan Öztrük’s most recent body of work is impossible: the transparency, translucency, and the reflectivity of the materials dispose of any sense of a separation of the object, of the work and the subject of the viewer and things blend, melt, confuse, exaggerate. The attributed physical qualities of... Read more -
