Joel Holub "Codicil"
Test Press Reviews: No Longer Empty - Theresa Diehl L-Alber-Into 2015<br />
Video and sound installation played by el Jéfe
Shellyne Rodriguez is a multi-media artist based in New York City. She creates<br />
environments that are inhabited by her sculptures, collages, drawings, and paintings,<br />
all of which work together in a manner that is reflective of hip hop culture. Her work explores<br />
the tension between hope and despair, drawing upon autobiographical content as well as<br />
socio-historical markers and the aesthetic of the Baroque to examine the passions of the soul.
Abigail DeVille "...and justice for all?" 2015<br />
a transformative, immersive installation in the basement of the<br />
Old Bronx Borough Courthouse using found objects and borrowed construction material<br />
from neighboring Bronx residents. Her ephemeral installations are often regurgitations<br />
of memories — both personal and political — of her upbringing in the Bronx.
