Article discussing Ellen Kooi photography.
“The large-scale panoramic photographs by Ellen Kooi challenge us to view the world as a dramatic narrative. She wants us to seek the border between fantasy and reality.”

Press: Walter Robinson


“For his current show, ‘[sic],’ Walter Robinson makes sumptuously enameled sculptures that display an irresistibly light satirical touch: he's a Good Humor moralist. Robinson explores the misuse of language in American religion, politics, advertising, and modern art.”
