Digital Essays Vol. 3: Proto Type

We’re back again with four new articles on exhibitions at the gallery in the last year and beyond. This year, we have writers Danielle Kehler, Thea Galang, Elizaveta Suldina, and Jonathan Creese writing on their exhibition of choice.

Here are some teasers from the essays:

• “What is an imagination for though, if not to stretch into strange new shapes? The hope of change lies in the pieces Reliquary 2021, and Logos 2022. Both titled after words I had to look up, these sculptures present the idea that however difficult or deeply ingrained the chains are in a mind or even a culture, the way to become the imago, the fully formed version of yourself, is to choose.” -Danielle Kehler (publish date August 8th, 2025)

• “Let’s talk about the banners with the words “Asian Imports”, “Ancient Traditions”, “Oriental Delicacies”, and “Elegant Landscapes”. They scream with manufactured reverence, the kind you see in airport gift shops or corporate “diversity” campaigns. These banners mimic commercial design, but their language is unsettling. The West has a way of distilling an entire culture into a handful of buzzwords.” -Thea Galang (publish date August 15, 2025)

• “Within these vacant scenes, the viewer himself becomes a body amid pressure: surrounded, diminished, vulnerable before the immensity of the vaporous masses. The landscapes enact a sort of uncanny account — where depictions of place no longer affirm presence but disrupt and unravel it.” -Elizaveta Suldina (publish date August 22, 2025)
