PATRICK MIKHAIL presents Oliver Pauk and Michael Vickers in an art-viewing experience that encourages exploration, investigation, and interactivity. With a shared interest in questioning relationships between materials, activations of space, and mechanical processes, the two-artist booth playfully explores visual trickery, dimensionality, and the function of the contemporary art object. Both Pauk and Vickers exhibit new bodies of work that share an aesthetic sensibility, offering multiple perspectives onto their surroundings, but also unto themselves and their own creation. For Vickers, we witness the evolution of a practice that works within the interstices between painting, sculpture, and installation. Pauk treads similarly blurred divisions between the physical and the digital, the literal and the intangible.
