On February 6th, artists Ziyi “Angela” Lin, Zuoyi “Scott” Liu, Hollis Currin, and Zhuoyang Wu held their wonderfully playful group show “Of ____ & Bufferzone”. Featuring distorted figures and unstable spaces, viewers remained in the tension that is the “buffer zone.” Look out for what these artists will explore next 💌
