Joseph Cohen (b. 1982, Houston, Texas) is an American artist whose work examines the relationship between perception, materiality, and the aspects of human experience that exist beyond the visible world. Working at the intersection of painting, material science, and optics, Cohen creates tactile artworks that investigate presence, time, and the limits of human perception. His ongoing Proposition series is developed through an accumulation of gestures, decisions, and materials over extended periods, with each painting becoming a record of sustained attention and the belief that our identities are shaped by the actions and experiences we accumulate, including those that are no longer visible. His interdisciplinary practice incorporates advanced materials, including separated carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and specialized pigments that exhibit optical properties beyond the visible spectrum. For more than a decade, Cohen has collaborated with scientists and researchers at institutions including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Rice University, and Houston Methodist Research Institute. His collaboration with the Heller Lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering contributed to research published in Nature Communications in 2019, demonstrating the potential for artistic experimentation to inform scientific innovation. Cohen’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including his 2026 solo exhibition To Be Here at Friedrichs Pontone in New York.

Channing Hansen (b. 1972) explores ideas of connection through his abstract knitted forms. He collects, processes, and dyes raw fleece from conservation-bred sheep. After spinning fleece into yarn, Hansen transforms the material into complex forms through knitting, weaving, and felting. Elaborate computer algorithms dictate his designs, combining craft and computation. By uniting technology with human-made and environmental concerns, Hansen’s work underscores our interconnected place in the universe, whether to the earth itself, an algorithmic world, or the cosmos, and asks us to consider what mark we should leave behind.

Ana Segovia produces images through paintings that subvert the heteronormativity of popular imaginaries. The artist revisits mythical scenes and figures from industries like film and sports, reconfiguring their hegemonic role as idealized models of masculinity. An intimate connection to cinema constantly inspires and drives him to transgress norms. Segovia takes familiar images from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema and the Western genre, intervening in their forms, altering their tonalities, and dislocating them. It’s in this disruption where he reveals the montage, artifice, and the performativity in constructing gender and national identities. Segovia’s paintings confront viewers with undefined faces, strident color palettes, and scenes infused with humor that juxtaposes the serious. His work positions playfulness as a political tool, challenging and creating tensions in a dialogue between the norm and the unconventional. Segovia rewrites our visual models, inviting us to reconsider them, and offers the possibility of encountering the familiar from a perspective that questions and blurs its contours. Ana Segovia received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), specializing in painting and drawing. In spring 2020, he participated in the Casa Wabi Residency, Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Segovia lives and works in Mexico City.
