Gavin Kenyon, New York
Gavin Kenyon, Born 1980 in Binghamton New
York, lives and works in New York. He is
represented by Galleria Zero, Milan.
Mass, tension, balance, membranes, surface
quality and color. Working at the limits of
materials with an attention to how matter
behaves under stress. Finding equilibrium in
failure. The abject position. These strategies
and elements are used in Kenyon’s sculptures
to speak of the frailty of bodies, loss, isolation
and psychological repression on one hand as
well as connection, care and the tenacity of
life on the other

Sam Finkelstein, Maine
Sam Finkelstein was born in New York City,
and currently lives in Rockland, Maine. His
work centers on the human body as the link
between the psychic states of everaccelerating metropolitan centers and those of
more time-expansive pastoral landscapes. This
exploration manifests in sculpted stone,
poetry, drawings, and music. Finkelstein is
interested in his work primarily registering on
a nonverbal level – something rooted in a
primordial, energetic collective knowledge
that we share with plants, trees, fellow
animals, and the heavenly bodies of the
cosmos
