Nicholas Galanin: In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra
Nicholas Galanin created this work with the same steel tubing used to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall, also echoing its 30-foot height. The metal was cut and reassembled to spell out LAND in a format reminiscent of Robert Indiana’s 1966 sculpture, LOVE.

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Process is Life, an exhibition of brushstroke compositions by founding member Blythe Bohnen (1940–2022). Painted between 1968 and 1972, these compositions unite Bohnen’s art-historical interest in examining the mechanics of the painted gesture with her metaphysical interest in impermanence, memory, and renewal.
