Augustin, peter campus, Naomi Cohn, Steven Frost, Alexandra Hedison, Nikolai Ishchuck, Garry Noland, Gelah Penn, and Altoon Sultan, there are not any paintings in the exhibition. Instead, the focus addresses the pronounced influence of painting on photography, ceramics, video, installation, textiles, and mixed media constructions.
