Pluperfect, an action of continued relevance

A collaboration with 81 Leonard Gallery, Pluperfect: an action of continued relevance explores evolution as an ongoing process, highlighting how past actions continue to shape artistic and personal growth. The works on view reflect a balance between historical references and contemporary innovation, emphasizing that to move forward, one must also look back. Through material experimentation, narrative layering, and conceptual inquiry, the artists in Pluperfect navigate the tension between tradition and reinvention, examining relevance as a continuous state of becoming.
