3/20- 4/23 INTERIORITY featuring work by Hans Gindlesberger and Amber Lia Kloppel
Amber Lia Kloppel's realistic portraits and self-portraits are deeply rooted in the American and Dutch traditions of genre painting. Though somewhat voyeuristic, her works are introspective, encouraging us to question what it truly means to see ourselves. Hans Gindlesberger's sculptural tin casts, derived from the film chambers of various cameras, evoke an intimate connection to photography's sacred liminal space—the span between the world beyond the lens and the plane where an image is captured on unexposed film.

The exhibition INTERIORITY explores whether the act of gazing—the fundamental process of seeing and describing—can serve as a meaningful method for looking inward. To enhance viewer engagement, Gindlesberger offers large format rolling camera obscura, inviting visitors to physically interact as they navigate the exhibition.
