VIEW FROM ABOVE is a group exhibition that investigates aerial perspective in different forms, from political borders and hidden miniature landscapes to mechanical infrastructures and textured maps of memory. Perspectives of the world become fragmented using various techniques of installation, interactivity, and introspection.

The exhibition includes works by:

Isabella Cruz-Chong / Lisa di Donato / Tyler Henry / Christina Lafontaine / Katya Meykson / Caroline Voagen Nelson / Caleb Nussear. 

The exhibition is curated by Caroline Voagen Nelson. 

Habitual actions, rituals, relationships. We consider them as essential parts of our individual existence. To unexpectedly fall out of this everyday structure, begin to lose control, is a breaking point, a breach, pinned to the "here and now". It makes us aware that we exist. Aware of our own fragility. The artist exposes this ruptured condition, in a moment of vulnerability, experiencing a creative breakthrough.

Artists: Elena Chestnykh, Michelle Sumaray, Susan Luss, Melanie Reese, Yanina Boldyreva & Alexander Isaenko.

Curated be Elena Chestnykh
