Adrián Villar Rojas
In "The Theater of Disappearance," Adrian Villar Rojas transforms a vast exhibition space into a quasi-undersea environment, a post-apocalyptic world filled with concrete columns and illuminated refrigerators populated with found and fabricated artifacts. More...

In Jack Kerouac’s 1958 Beat Generation novel, “The Dharma Bums,” the book’s narrator Ray Smith answers the big question asked by some kids: “Why is the sky blue?” to which Smith answers, “The sky is blue because you wanta know why is the sky blue.” Casper Brindle offers a similar answer, only with paint.
