VIEWING ROOM
Selected by Michelle Y. Loh
October 22 - November 21
Scott Alario, Olivier Catté, Akira Ikezoe
The gallery is delighted to invite friend and distinguished colleague Michelle Y. Loh to select works for our viewing room for the month of November. Michelle was asked to pair works by one of the gallery’s artists with works by artists of her choice from outside the gallery. We are happy to host this opportunity for experimentation and thank Michelle and the artists for being a part of this project.
