Featuring new and recent works by Diana Al-Hadid, Leonardo Meoni, Jonathan Okoronkwo, Claudio Parmiggiani, and Yunyao Zhang, the exhibition centers on two-dimensional artworks that forego painting’s traditional materials. The artists use the titular supports and mediums to expose and explore the limits of pictorial systems, while further emphasizing how context informs material choices—from industrial trade to art historical movements. Felt, velvet, soot, gypsum, and engine oil are all employed by the participating artists in order to break with convention and expand the field.

Open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 AM–6 PM & by appointment.
