According to co-curator Lena Hyun: “Sustained Investigations presents the work of four distinct artists sharing an investigative spirit founded in complex ideas and rigorous formal Investigation. Using diverse materials from the poetic to the prosaic, these artists explore narrative, abstraction and the landscape in a variety of media with visually stunning and dramatic effects. Together, they offer provocative and enlightening possibilities for artistic practice in the 21stcentury.”
