Proxy Gallery Presents
Brian C. Moss:
What’s up, Mazzocchio
May 16 to June 26, 2026
We see here an upside-down globe representing the oceans and blank space where the continents are, but no countries. The globe is illuminated from the inside, with the illumination coming through the missing land mass, and projecting onto the walls, floor and ceiling of the gallery. The gallery being cubical, the projections are distorted.
