- [**Lindsey Bailey**](http://www.cakecrush.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s #bangagitatetransitrepeat involves performance, video, color, sound, photography, and interactive set pieces in a contemporary arrangement that allows the viewer to become part of the story.
- [**Jacqueline Bishop**](https://jacquelineabishop.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s current body of work explores issues of sexuality and desire in relationship to female bodies.
- [**Howard el-Yasin**](https://app.close.io/lead/lead%5FbmGHcTJ2RuQ59V59HfbOZYyW1WWKNFKqEUFqY6eiwDx/howard-elyasin.squarespace.com?ref=hyperallergic.com)‘s ongoing investigation of detritus interweaves the process of collecting with spatial installation.
- [**Suzy Kopf**](http://www.suzykopf.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s American Monument, combines AstroTurf, hand screenprinted wallpaper, an edition of artist books and a collection of postcards to address the traces of midcentury advertising and ethos still evident in the American populated landscape today.
- [**Kirk Daniel Palmer**](http://www.kirkdanielpalmer.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com)‘s body of work combines found objects and paintings to reclaim a sense of static space in the face of contemporary information consumption.
- [**Georgeann Schellenger**](http://www.georgeannschellenger.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s textiles are imbued with social and personal histories that can speak directly to unequivocal other-ing.
- [**Azucena Trejo Williams**](http://trejowilliams.weebly.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com)’ installations reference the landscape in relationship to the body and human interventions.
