Oliver Michaels
June 8 - July 28, 2007
This
mesmerizing 14-minute video loop by Oliver Michaels follows
a model train passing through a series of rooms that appear
connected, but are actually from multiple buildings. The

Propagation: Mitra Fabian
August 10, 2007 - September 22, 2007
Mitra
Fabian works with Scotch tape, glue or discarded window
blinds to create "organisms" that straddle the
line between beautiful and grotesque; benign and malignant.
She mimics the process of growth within a context of cultural
compromise and expresses ideas about endangered environments
in which culture and nature conflict.
