Finnbogi Pétursson
Finnbogi Petursson's "Infra-Supra 2019" begins quietly with its huge screens empty. Sounds are generated by speakers set over a pool of water with black ink; the dark surface ignites as concentric circles produced by the sounds are reflected on the screens above. More...
Cheryl Ann Thomas
The ultra-thin porcelain abstractions of Cheryl Ann Thomas constantly appear to risk breaking to pieces to achieve their beautiful forms and surfaces. More...

Diana Al-Hadid
