‘Mary Poppins’ and Tam Van Tran’s ‘Psychonaut’
Blaffer Gallery’s latest exhibitions feature Urs Fischer’s
“Mary Poppins” and Tam Van Tran’s “Psychonaut.”
Fischer’s drawings, collages, sculptures and installations

that is life. Van Tran’s art consists of punched, crunched,
stapled and woven paper brushed with chlorophyll and spirulina.
It is described as a meditation on the natural world with a psychological
twist. The exhibits run through Aug. 5. Blaffer Gallery, 120 Fine
