TRANSMISSION

Through appropriated objects, painting, works on paper, photography, video, sound installation and scent, Transmission presents an exhibition of recent work by Man Bartlett that celebrates the gallery space as a living temple to post-minimalist, meditative art.

Additional spheres of influence include Wolfgang Laib, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Serra, ancient Qin music, numerology, alchemy and contemporary mysticism.
