Taylor Cleveland's The Faire featuring Carla Gannis

The Faire is a large-scale new media exhibition examining the hidden economies of cultural participation. Drawing from the medieval Très Riches Heures du Due de Berry, Nam June Paik's televisual lineage, and the theatrics of an art fair, Cleveland transforms Ro2 into a luminous landscape of monumental projections, looming sculptural forms, live surveillance systems, and flickering screens - part cathedral, part server room, part art fair afterimage. Systems of gatekeeping, extraction, and spectacle exist around art because we participate in them. Our attention feeds them. The work asks what we are actually devoted to - the art, or the machinery that surrounds it.

In Ro2's new media room, Carla Gannis presents Model of Me - a cinematic work moving between painting, photography, sculpture, and AI. It is a work about perception: how feeling is translated, how time is rendered visible, and how care becomes the medium itself. It is quieter in scale than what surrounds it, but it reaches further.

Together, the two bodies of work move between the systemic and the intimate, between the economies that surround art and the devotion that sustains it.
