Bahareh Khoshooee: WELL COME HOME
September 24–December 12, 2026
Bringing together sculpture, installation, projection mapping, and video produced over the past eight years, the exhibition traces Khoshooee’s evolving practice around questions of distance, mediation, and connection. Drawing from her experience as an Iranian immigrant, Khoshooee considers how prolonged distance from home reshapes relationships to place, memory, identity, and belonging. Encountering Iran from afar through an onslaught of images, narratives, and networked technologies, Khoshooee’s work moves between witnessing and grief, distance and connection, toward increasingly collective forms of care. Across the exhibition, “home” emerges as an unstable and continually evolving constellation of people, places, memories, and relations.
Siebren Versteeg: TIME FRAMES
September 24, 2026–Spring 2027
In TIME FRAMES, Siebren Versteeg presents five live-feed video artworks that transform familiar places through techniques of re-cropping, mirroring, pixelation, and other forms of digital manipulation. Drawing on real-time views of the Sphere in Las Vegas, the Empire State Building in New York City, the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., and the Acqualina Beach Resort in Miami, alongside a 1:1 scaled live feed of a table of remote controls in the artist’s studio, TIME FRAMES moves between sites of spectacle, tourism and the private space of the artist’s studio, collapsing the space between public and private life into one unified aesthetic field.
