In a continuation of its Xian Rui (Fresh and Sharp) exhibition series is a solo exhibition by fiber artist Dora Hsiung. In practice for more than 30 years, fifty of Hsiung’s wall hangings, installations and sculptures are currently on display.

HANG ART is pleased to present "In the In Between", a duo show of new works by HANG ART artists Anne Stryke and Jennifer Damas.  A reception for the artists will be held on First Thursday, August 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. On view August 1-15 2009, "In the In Between" brings together the dynamic affects of both painting and sculpture by two of HANG ART’s very talented artists. Both Stryke and Damas draw their creativity from moments of transition. The point at which an object or space in time changes from one state of being to another interests both these artists.
