Austin Eddy is a painter and sculptor born in Boston MA who graduated from the Art Institute in Chicago and is currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. His work reevaluates the dwindling conversations of modernity in a world juxtaposed somewhere between abstraction and reality.

Tucson, Arizona-based artist, Barbara Grygutis (Tucson AZ) creates public spaces that enhance the built environment, enable civic interaction, and reveal unspoken relationships between nature and humanity. She engages the public through her works of art by identifying themes meaningful to each specific site and community.

Brad Kahlhamer is an artist known for his multi-media practice, ranging from sculpture and painting to performance and music. He draws on his tripartite identity in his art, navigating his Native American heritage, adoptive German-American family, and adult life in New York City’s Lower East Side, where he has lived since 1990. His “Dreamcatcher” series draws on the form of a traditional Native American symbol of unity and identification, which over time has become commercialized and often appropriated. This choice invokes the complexity and multiplicity of cultural histories, as he examines the cultural hybridity of navigating multiple communities simultaneously while addressing questions of representation of Native culture in the twenty-first century.

David Altmejd (b. 1974, Montreal) explores the constitution and disintegration of the self. His work is a unique and heady mix of science and magic, science fiction and gothic romanticism: a post-apocalyptic vision which is at the same time essentially optimistic, containing as it always does the potential for regeneration, evolution and invention. His interest lies in the making of an object which generates its meaning. Altmejd lives and works in Los Angeles and is represented by Xavier Hufkens, White Cube, and David Kordansky Gallery.
