PATRON is proud to present a thematically curated booth focused on water, as addressed through the practices of artists from the gallery’s program: Greg Breda, Bethany Collins, Jamal Cyrus, Kay Hofmann, Caroline Kent, Jennie C. Jones, Samuel Levi Jones, Noé Martinez, Harold Mendez, Nyeema Morgan, Anna Plesset, Melanie Schiff, Claire Sherman, Samira Yamin, and Liat Yossior.



Looking beyond water’s elemental relationship to life, this presentation looks to explore how contemporary artistic practices address water within metaphoric, poetic, ritualistic and narrative platforms. Drawing from historic and cultural relationships to water, the works considered for this presentation are focused on water as a symbol of change and time, a living force of nature which impacts us far beyond its fixture as the source of life. Water plays a pivotal role in the way we understand life, meaning, and memory.
