Blaffer Gallery – Opening
Reception for Urs Fisher and Tam Van Tran
Opening reception for Blaffer Gallery’s latest exhibitions

drawings, collages, sculptures and installations evoke an existence
ruled by extremes: the banality and complexity that is life. Van
Tran’s art consists of punched, crunched, stapled and woven
paper brushed with chlorophyll and Spirolina and are described
as meditation on the natural world with a psychological twist.
