More than 300 guests turned up at the gallery earlier this month to check out the exhibition, which spans a variety of media encompassing photography, sculpture, publications, sound, and single and multi-channel video installation.

After enjoying nibbles and a preview of the LA-based artist’s works, including Earth Cube, Glass Horizon and END/RUN, the haute crowd drifted towards the Chateau for dinner.
