Artist

Susan Klein

Susan Klein’s work plays with the idea of American spirituality. She makes sculpture, paintings, and works on paper that repurpose religious and ritualistic imagery to serve a secular spiritualism that is part of contemporary American culture. Klein uses a specific system of symbols that shifts from funny and playful to commemorative and serious. The work references history, artifact, decoration, architecture, and pop culture.

Susan Klein has exhibited work at Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art – College of Charleston; Crossing Collective, New York City; and Redux Contemporary Art Center, Charleston, among others.

Grullón’s self-portrait series, “From March to June: At Home with Essential Workers” is a continuation of her process using visual and embodied performative practices to create alternatives in archiving history. These self-portraits were created in her home in New York City during the Covid-19 quarantine. In this body of work, she simultaneously documents her time at home and current affairs affecting the nation.The titles refer to dates the images were taken and news articles from that time regarding the treatment of essential workers and incarcerated people during the pandemic.

Ying Chiun Lee

This piece of work portrays my experience of living through the pandemic as a foreigner in the US. The video consists of two scenes; The first scene is a view through the bottom of the glass tank. Catching the moment of molten glass dropped into the water and broke within several macro-explosions. The second part of the scene is an uranium glass object with gold leaf scattered on the top. Then two amorphous blobs of hot glass come into the frame. They dance around the object seductively. The audio is composed of a mixture of electronic sounds, news broadcasts regarding Covid, and cicada sounds from rural Taiwan.

Artist

Ana Hoffner

In her art practice, Ana Hoffner analyzes moments of crisis, war and conflict in recent history and politics. Her performances, videos and photo installations seek to introduce temporalities, relations, and spaces in between established perspectives, memories of iconic images, and highly performative events. Hoffner employs means of appropriation such as restaging photographs, interviews and reports, as well as strategies of desynchronization.

Ana Hoffner completed the PhD-in-Practice program at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2014. She has exhibited work at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; Secession, Vienna; and VOX Contemporary Image Center, Montreal, among others.
