Damien Davis (b. 1984) is a Brooklyn-based artist, born in Crowley, Louisiana and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. His practice explores historical representations of blackness by unpacking the visual language of various cultures, question how these societies code/decode representations of race through craft, design and digital modes of production. Made up of glyphic shapes, patterns, and images, the works interact in dynamic ways, that creating ever-shifting relationships and meanings, while brokering new associations and conversations.

Mr. Davis holds a BFA in Studio Art and an MA in Visual Arts Administration from New York University.

Joel Dean describes his practice as, “Objects of progress bridge breaks in our systems, only to become links in the chains of a free society. Innovations as simple as the bottle, the coin, or the organization of time, in different ways hold the potential to liberate us from the chaos of ourselves. Consequently, these innovations are imbued with an inherent faculty for disembodiment. In my work I explore the paradox of technological development as a physical and psychological extension of the body. I alter, re­make and re-­present found objects and images to set up microcosmic reflections of the world in a poetry of its own organizational structures.”

Flis Holland writes, “I used to be an engineer specialising in asteroid deflection but I quit under a cloud. For years I pretended space didn't exist, but it has snuck back into my practice. My career change is a way to discuss our views of trauma and depression: there’s been a big shift from single, world-ending catastrophes to ongoing stories of everyday survival. Right now I’m using sci-fi writing and performance to do this. I’m a Finnish-British artist based in Helsinki, in the final stages of a DFA at Kuvataideakatemia supervised by Taru Elfving.”

In her installation work, Ye-Eun Min reorganizes the symbolic and material characteristics of the house. She visualizes the ambiguous space and non-linear time arising from interactions between indoor and outdoor spaces, and between matter and thought. She combines various media and materials to construct a state of transient harmony, an unfamiliar state of temporary balance with its own rules.
