Material Art Fair 2018

January 31, 2018

in lieu is pleased to announce our participation in Material Art Fair 2018 with work by Los Angeles-based artists Kayla Ephros and Sasha Bergstrom-Katz. Material takes place February 8-11 in Ciudad de Mexico.

Three objects by Sasha Bergstrom-Katz, collectively titled Not Seeing, will be on view. Each sculpture is based upon an existing object designed to address what is seen and what is hidden from view: a magic trick, a pedagogical tool for science classes, and a theoretical model of input/output.

Kayla Ephros will show a small collection of handmade dolls alongside one drawing and a pair of ceramic shoes.
