San Francisco based artist Elisheva Biernoff’s work uses the installation of large scale painting and sculpture to investigate myths, fictions and fantasies through interactive scenes. In her first solo exhibition at Pro Arts, Biernoff addresses these myths through voyeuristic environments that are reminiscent of images from magazine clippings, photographs and postcards of far away places.

Oakland-based artist Luther Thie’s work uses large-scale installation and real-time data to respond to America’s often-fatal obsession with cars. In his first solo exhibition at Pro Arts, Thie shows his LA Interchange, a fully functional scale model of a public memorial he proposes be erected at the intersection of the Santa Monica and Harbor freeways in Los Angeles.
