Brian Thoreen: Minor Acts of Control presents new works exploring how materials resist imposed order. Thoreen’s paper-and-glue wall pieces shrink and pucker, evoking epidermal surfaces, while bronze “paperweights” interact with stacked paper, suggesting gravity, mass, and function. Works by Charlotte vander Borght, Marie Hazard, and Machteld Rullens further investigate everyday materials—fiberglass, cardboard, and rubber—altered by use and artistic intervention.
