Phillip Byrne, Beatriz Cortez, Kang Seung Lee, Candice Lin: Entangled Writing

MANETTI SHREM. A time capsule that functions as an iceberg. The secret lives of cables. A parable born of a dream of a lost loved one. The aging skin of a dancer. All are bodies in motion and transformation: a body of work, a body of knowledge, a diseased body, bodily experience. Four California artists — including Phillip Byrne (M.F.A. 22) and Associate Professor of Art Beatriz Cortez — each present a new commissioned installation. Kang Seung Lee and Cortez are featured in the current Venice Biennale, and Candice Lin was in 2022’s edition. Free
