This artwork is by Marc Handelman and entitled "Gorge." A landscape with that appears to show a white plant or tree with a brushy top extending from a white cliff and a circular deep purple orb in the center of the sky behind the plant matter. It purple lightens slightly as it radiates towards the outer edge of the canvas. This image almost looks like a monochromatic purple negative.
An artwork by Whitney Bedford, entitled "Venduta (Lacombe Red Pines) shows bright orangish, peachy, pink tree trunks with similarly-colored and also blue leafy foliage at the top. The sky looks bright and orange and there is blue in the middle as if mountains, then a small swatch of land, and ocean and land again as if viewed from a hillside towards the horizon. The forground shows a rigit gold edge on the bottom and as if there is a fold. It seems this might be a folding screen with a landscape on it being seen behind actual versions of the plants in the foreground.
A photographic work showing men on a train in a black and white photo behind a black-lined rectangular grid that reminds one of a fence with transparent areas by York Chang, entitled Sedition.
An artwork by Jesús Rafael Soto (Untitled) that shows a black rectangle with a white border. Framing the top half of the rectangle is a black upside down "U" shape and on the bottom there is a blue rightsideup "U" shape. There is a small extension attached above the work from which small black nylon cord pieces extend in front of the black rectangle. They create shadows on the wall that shift as one moves around the work.
