"I love the range in this booth, from large-scale ceramic totems to more intimate neon paintings. I'm always impressed by the artists Freeburg represents and the clarity of her program's mission."

"The camera was being pointed in the mirror so you got an angle, and I was naked, because I was part of what they were doing. So that's how I got to do the selfies with the mirror."

The Olympus Perspective Playground operates as a fully built system, where walls, lighting rigs, circulation paths, and signage are developed together with each installation, creating a continuous spatial script.

Lorena Bradford started monthly tours in American Sign Language, established a program for individuals with memory loss, and brought in medical students to learn soft skills to apply in their caregiving.

The shock of the old hits you in front of a naked Cupid who has clearly been portrayed from life, his raw, laughing features apparently coming straight from the mean streets into the gallery. This young love god is an anarchist, and Caravaggio paints like the antichrist, mocking civilisation, symbolised by the musical instruments at Cupid's feet.

More or less invented by the Dada artists following World War One, zines became popular during every other moment of blasé corporatized tedium that drove people to circumvent the established order. They became especially prominent during the punk eras.

There is always something a bit uncanny about Simon Laveuve 's playful miniatures.

Laveuve is known for his meticulously sculpted miniatures that evoke post-apocalyptic settings, from stilt houses hovering precariously on rock formations to playful amalgamations of numerous "found objects" like tires and old windows.
