Michaela Payer and Martin Gabriel
Payer Gabriel is an artist collective focused on drawing and artistic research. Their work operates at the intersection of art and knowledge production, with an emphasis on visual epistemologies – image-based strategies through which knowledge is generated and structured. Drawing on critical posthumanism, they examine the interrelations between visualization, systematization, and inscription of knowledge, as well as their impact on thought and norm formation. Their practice employs a playful, undisciplined methodology that reconfigures established procedures of knowledge organization.

Artist
Cate Pasquarelli
Cate Pasquarelli’s sculptures look to depict environments that identify with their inhabitants. Steepled churches, colonial-style houses, and white picket fences – the loaded imagery we associate with pastoral American life – becomes distorted and deformed in her work. Her miniatures explore concepts of collaborative memory, sentimentality, and imagined histories. Through the nuances of setting and built environment, Pasquarelli gives life to the speculative residents of her scenes—their traditions, nostalgias, hopes, and unease toward the future.
Cate Pasquarelli has exhibited work at The Brooklyn Museum; Perrotin; and The Shed, all in New York, among others.
