DANA KARWAS

Dana Karwas’ work dismantles perception and rebuilds it in unexpected ways. She bends architecture, cognition, and logic, pushing past familiarity into something uncanny. Her practice explores reorienting knowledge, making the familiar feel offset and the unknown feel inevitable. Whether through sculpture, digital imagery, 3D printing, glass casting, painting, or architectural interventions, her work operates on a shifting edge—one where materials, space, and experience become tools for revealing hidden structures of thought.
Dana Karwas is the Director of Yale’s Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (CCAM) and a Critic at the Yale School of Architecture. Her teaching focuses on mechanized perception and designing for both terrestrial and celestial spaces. She holds a PhD in Urban Systems from NYU, has a graduate degree from ITP at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and received a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Kansas.

ANNIE BIELSKI

Annie Bielski’s paintings and drawings slide and drape between interiority and observation, landing in vivacious abstraction. She begins each work intuitively, often starting with bright and bold pour or paint or rendered shape on raw canvas. What follows is all in response to that first move. A sense of urgency, tension, playfulness, anxiety, ease, and working things out on the support’s surface may all be felt in the finished work.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including solo exhibitions at Rachel Uffner Gallery in New York, SEPTEMBER Gallery in Hudson, The University at Buffalo Anderson Gallery, and Paris London Hong Kong in Chicago. She writes about art and artists for various publications and creates artists’ books of writing and images often coinciding with exhibitions. Her work has been covered by Whitehot Magazine, Art News, Hyperallergic, MTV, and The New York Times. She received a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from SUNY Buffalo. Bielski is represented by SEPTEMBER Gallery in Kinderhook, New York.

Luka Carter is an interdisciplinary artist who lived on a boat for three years in Rockaway Beach, NY, a trailer in Bolinas, CA and plenty of places in between. The friends and community that he finds in each of these places has allowed for a strong, beautiful network of friendship and artistic collaboration, similar to what futurists might call tentacularity - “about life lived along lines, not at points, not in spheres.” With a background in construction and cooking, Luka has a knack for making space for art in overlooked or interstitial spaces–– including an outhouse, abandoned lot, and a van. His practice spans zines, furniture, tattoos, ceramics, clothing, and installations. He recieved a BA from Colorado College and an MFA from the University of Georgia and has been an artist in residence at Eureka!, Chautauqua School of Art, ACRE, and Anderson Ranch. Recent exhibitions include Baba Yaga Gallery (Hudson, NY) SCOPE Art Fair (Miami), Baltimore Print Fair, and Manitou Art Center.

Sonia Ruscoe is a painter and poet from and based in New York City and the Hudson Valley. She holds a BA from CUNY Brooklyn College. Her paintings have been shown at SEPTEMBER Gallery, Basilica Hudson, Baba Yaga, Better Read Than Dead, Lucas Lucas, and most recently a solo show at Nonchalant Gallery (all in NYC/HudsonValley). Elsewhere she has shown at Casa Lu, CDMX, 4WS space (LA), and in Richmond (VA) her works on paper were part of a performance where they were thrown into a hole and burned. In her recent paintings, narrative pushes into mysterious and abstract territories, where abstraction and the fantastic are utilized as accessible devices for describing more elusive concepts. As a result, an uncanny narrative world emerges where characters explore the social and philosophical fabric of reality, summoning vibes from early technicolor film musical dream sequences, shadows projected on window shades and flickering candle light.
