Havoc Gallery - Booth 411
Stainless Steel Light Sculptures
These panels are an ongoing exploration of mine started in 2000 of the optical properties of abraded metal. I have been doing metalwork for forty years and along the way recognized that some tools leave a surface that seems to recede from the viewer, some simply flatten or create no dimensionality, and some seem to lift off the surface into the foreground. By combining these on a surface I can create holographic effects of depth and space with a two-dimensional object.
The art on the wall is not the piece of metal. The art is the way your eyes read the space created by the light reflecting off the surface. These panels have effects that are dramatic and immediately apparent and another level of perception that is only apparent with prolonged study. Letting one’s eyes relax and simply gazing will yield bits of reflected light that curve away and behind other objects, swirls and shimmering lines that lift into the space in front of the surface.

The Prominent German-French Artist, Rotraut
Rotraut Klein-Moquay, known by her mononym Rotraut, is a German-French visual artist best known for the lively and intuitive forms that appear in her paintings and large-scale sculpture. Rotraut was deeply influenced by the years she spent in France, working alongside Arman, César, Christo, Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Yves Klein, whom she married in 1962. It was during these years in France that Rotraut created the first of her “Galaxies” paintings and perfected the craft of her forms, referred to by curator Klaus Ottmann as “symbols of the ‘collective unconsciousness’” and by art historian Julia Friedman as “mediumistic.” Ever since her first exhibition in Nice in 1958, Rotraut has been creating prolifically and exhibiting extensively. Her large-scale, boldly colored sculpture has been exhibited in Saint Tropez, Lugano, and Saint Moritz, among many other cities, and her work is represented in dozens of public collections, including the Centre Pompidou in France, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, and the Phoenix Art Museum in the United States. In March 2024, Rotraut was recognized by the Government of France as an Officier in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of the highest honors given by France to those who have made significant contributions to the arts.

Reisig and Taylor Contemporary - booth 408
Good Grounds, Drowned Meadows
The group exhibition includes works by German artist Claudia Rega, Armenian-American artist Rudik Ovsepyan, and San Francisco-based Chinese artist Xiao He—as well as works by Los Angeles-based artists Chris Reisig & Leeza Taylor and objet A.D. The exhibited pieces consist of paintings, drawings, and mixed-media works ranging between figuration and abstraction through expression-driven processes.
Beginning in the early 20th century, the idyllic hamlets populating the eastern region of Long Island came to be collectively referred to as “The Hamptons.” Over time, various names of places throughout Long Island were changed to attract more permanent residents as well seasonal vacationers. Playing with this shifting history of how The Hamptons and surrounding areas came to be reimagined through a uniquely American project of producing holiday destinations, this exhibition presents artworks that find ways of showing how the social construction of a place creates a material world through imaginary concepts, symbolic structures, and aesthetic sensations. The exhibiting pieces work through relations between memory, nostalgia, history, and the sense of place.
