THURSDAY, MAY 5th. 5:00-6:00pm

Etty Yaniv

Artist, Writer & Curator
“In my installation works I draw on patterns from nature and images from daily life, altogether forming hybrid landscapes which blur the line between the real and the imagined, the organic and the artificial, the chaotic and the orderly. The multiple layers of repurposed materials, both found and from my studio work, reflect my preoccupation with ephemerality—recycled, torn, stacked, manipulated—alluding to obsolescence, ecology, and transience.”
THURSDAY, MAY 7th. 5:00-6:00pm

Paul Michael Graves

Abstract Artist
Paul’s art is a meditation on our ability to understand complex systems through the imaginative eye. We understand and “see” the multidimensional by abstracting down into three- and two-dimensional representation.
His paintings quote graffiti and pop art of the 1980s while commenting on technology’s ever-increasing influence on contemporary culture. Paul’s technobabble resembles circuitry, urban systems, maps, formulas, and microbiology; inviting the viewer into an endless world of algorithm.
FRIDAY, MAY 8th. 1:00-2:00pm

Kate Fauvell

Visual Storyteller
Kate was born, raised and currently lives in New York City. Her work combines photography, collage and painting to create images that archive time, create nostalgia and explore what it means to be human.
In 2019, Kate had a solo exhibition at Binghamton University, and collaborated with Artbridge and Google to install work on the Google Building. She is a Pollock Krasner Grant recipient and has received grants from Artist Fellowship, Rauschenberg Foundation, and the US Swiss Embassy to name a few. She has done residencies and exhibitions around the world and will be in multiple exhibitions in 2020.
THURSDAY, MAY 7th 1:00-2:30pm
