Trisha Donnelley

Trisha Donnelley Work from an Untitled Exhibition (2019) “In 1974, the CIA green-lit a 350-million-dollar cover-up operation to salvage a sunken Soviet sub from the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

When given the sentence fragment “Freedom From,” the viewer is encouraged to consider what […]

Sherwin Rivera Tibayan

Sherwin Rivera Tibayan Work from Installation Views. “After viewing many gallery and artist sites over the last few years, I became interested in the common photographic practice of installation views.
