Join curators Mary Chen and Theresa Wang for a guided tour of their exhibition Soft Refractions.

Soft Refractions is group exhibition featuring the works of DeBugReBoot, Jessy Kitchen, HaeAhn Kwon, IvanovStoeva, Carson Teal, and Xuan Ye. The artists featured in Soft Refractions demonstrate a desire to destabilize value systems, and, in turn, mine for new capacities. As manners of representation stretch rapidly into new forms, this exhibition speculates looking at the boundary for otherwise encounters to invoke a mediated articulation of the contemporary world.
