Ethan Shoshan and Wallace Dos Santos: two solo exhibitions.

Flux IV hosts the opening reception of two solo exhibitions. Ethan Shoshan's 'For Those Without A Tribe' centers on large-scale hooked rugs depicting the rooms and objects of the Lower Manhattan building on Greenwich Street where he lived alongside artist Geoffrey Hendricks and archivist Sur Rodney (Sur) for almost two decades, a social experiment in intergenerational living. Wallace Dos Santos's 'Cherry Blossom Girl' features sculpturally framed paintings incorporating paper pulp made from recycled everyday waste, reflecting on the nostalgia and sweetness of the artist's childhood in New York City and how a place becomes imbricated with the people, memories, architectural details, and recurrent encounters that shape our lives. Shoshan is a New York-based artist, activist, curator, writer, and social ecologist whose work transforms personal and collective histories into acts of connection, while Dos Santos, a Brazilian-American artist born and raised in Brooklyn, works in painting, papermaking, and sculpture to explore architectural and psychedelic realms.
