  • n today's culture, the average person is constantly bombarded with information. Works of art frequently benefit from looking like one thing but saying another. bait-and-switch presents artists who employ this strategy – whose work captures the viewer's attention then pulls the rug out from under them. These artists deliver fresh perspectives on familiar means, leveraging a known medium, image or source material, and subverting it to their own means.

  • Time is not a circle nor a square is an endurance drawing project by Kendall Nordin that will begin at 9 AM and run through Monday at 9 AM or after, depending on the artist's stamina. She estimates she will be able to last until early afternoon on Monday. Mimicking the angles and shapes already evident in the windows, walls, and lines of this storefront space, Nordin will make 2-dimensional as well as 3-dimensional drawings, some of which will be only momentary, all of which will disappear at the end of her performance.
