Artis presented an artist talk with Izhar Patkin followed by a reception at Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Santa Monica. Titled “The Dead Are Here,” the exhibition featured a room wrapped with 14-foot-tall wall-size paintings in ink on tulle curtains. These dreamlike paintings are part of a collaboration that began in 1999 between Patkin and the late revered Kashmiri poet Agha Shahid Ali.
