Living Matter

Living Matter occupies the space between transformation and stillness, where materials like ceramic, mycelium, fiber, light, metal, paper, and glass are both held and in flux. The artists in this show channel the life force within these materials, evoking a sensitivity to their texture, energy, and potential to grow and change. Here, matter is never static; it shifts, bends, and speaks, reflecting an empathy for the world around us. The works invite us to feel, not just observe, reminding us of the unspoken connections between things, human and otherwise. In this constant state of becoming, the exhibition is not about certainty, but about presence, transformation, and the quiet pulse of living matter itself.
Curated by Stephanie Germosen Salazar, Living Matter features work by Clare Hu, Sasha Fishman, Paz Sher, Rabeeha Adnan, Aida Lizalde, Umico Niwa, Häsler Gomez, Ali Kaeini, Tyna Ontko, Peter Rylander, taehee yoonseul, Rossana Romero, Bradley Sinanan, Destinie Adélakun, and Hannah Rotwein.
