Collection: "Dog and Wolf" organized by Tess Rubinstein

About the Exhibition

There’s an old folk saying in France, l’heure entre chien y loup, or the hour between dog and wolf, that speaks to the ambiguity of twilight hour. That period between day and night when light turns, shadows stretch, and our preconceived notions are set adrift.

This selection of work bends our expectations, playing tricks on the eye and rejecting definition. As viewers, we’re invited to sit within the ambiguity, left to revel in buzzing color fields, mythic structures, and disarticulated stop lights. Rather than categorize or contain, these 14 artists present a world in which multiple truths exist at once, a reality full of nuance and shimmering unknowns.
