If Art Could Talk is the first large-scale thematic exhibition of Eric Fischl’s paintings focusing on art works in situ. From South Pacific souvenirs to Andy Warhol paintings, Fischl has positioned art within his compositions as a driving narrative force. Like a film director, Fischl composes his paintings carefully to create a compelling narrative. At first glance, his works seem to be decisive moments in a larger storyline, captured and frozen, but the surrounding story remains elusive to the viewer. By fabricating and staging his own reality in a single work, Fischl takes complete control, contrasting banal situations and a subliminal world of conflict.

Artist and designer, Harry Nuriev, the founder of Crosby Studios in Moscow and Brooklyn, is a purist who seeks perfect minimalism through an investment in clean architectural shape and form. Nuriev blurs traditional disciplines and creates new ways of looking at spaces. 6 Fears is a glimpse into the varied course of the relationships between an architect and the design briefs set for him. The installation explores Nuriev's design process, working methods, and philosophical approach while illuminating the emotional and artistic content of his work. The project is a record of his unique position at the intersection of art and design—offering personal insights into culture, society, and architecture.

Carry me home reflects upon the relationship between self and Other as well as the socio-political tensions present in nationalism’s relationship to violence. The exhibition brings together works that express the range of Rahbar’s practice from cast sculpture to constructions of accumulated objects and textile works. Each piece tells a story of the relationship between individual and society by drawing upon Rahbar’s personal history as well as global dynamics. Rahbar mines the politics of belonging.
