Exhibition Opening: Light and Space
The camera has become an indispensable tool for architects not only to document the buildings they have created but also to record locations, spaces, and objects of interest. Bridges, mountains, abandoned buildings, skies, and flowers are just a few of the elements captured that become a central source of inspiration. This exhibition provides a small window into the way architects view, study, and perceive the world.

Exhibition Opening: R.I.P. Bill Murray by Con Artists NYC
Celebrity icon deaths have rocked 2016. David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali… It’s got us thinking about celebrating important cultural icons- but why wait until they’ve passed away? That’s right. We’re doing a satirical tribute show to celebrate all things Murray. Nothing says “I love you” like celebrating someone’s life as if they were dead. We thought Bill Murray of all people would appreciate that…
