7-9pm: Brain Scratch draws inspiration from Edwin Abbot’s Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, a novel reflecting the limited capabilities of the mind. Through an interest in the digital and physical, this exhibition seeks to discern a point where the two converge, creating a harmonious new reality. The title itself alludes to scratching one’s head in perplexity; the result is the alteration of our perception on what is and what may come.
On view through November 21st.

7-9pm: Opening Reception Yo! I’m Your C.E.O., a solo exhibition of new works by New York based artist Yasi Ghanbari.
Borrowing her title from a 1995 essay writing contest initiated by the ice cream company, Ben & Jerry’s in search of a new CEO, Yasi Ghanbari’s installation is an inquiry into the psyche of the consumer, and how public consumption affects the interest of the individual. Through her interest in interpassivity, the outsourcing of feelings and actions to others, Ghanbari criticizes companies who have interwoven capitalist strategies and humanitarian concerns. In particular, she displays an array of products applying the “buy one, give one” model, addressing the issue of consumer impunity: a marketing strategy providing a sense of apparent social consciousness by for-profit companies and abundantly factored in their profit/loss schemes.
On view till October 10th.
