Kaur approaches painting as a space of infinite possibility, play, and experimentation. This exhibition will unfold in the space as a dynamic series of modular works, where smaller paintings will evolve into large-scale compositions, constantly growing, shrinking, and shifting. The artist complicates the surfaces of her work by incorporating a diverse array of materials, including canvas, wood panel, textiles, acrylic paint, spray paint, oil pastels, handmade paper, and 3D printed elements.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of musical brilliance, comedy, and theatrical wonder as Piano Heist takes the stage. Lifelong friends and virtuoso pianists Nico Rhodes and Patrick Courtin lead this genre-bending show, showcasing their quest to make the piano cool again.
Armed with 400 years of musical masterpieces and cutting-edge technology, they transform classical piano, jazz, and pop hits into a dynamic experience featuring a “virtual orchestra” named Bob.
This high-energy performance blends Boogie Woogie, classical rhapsodies, 80s synth battles, and heartfelt ballads, with a setlist spanning icons like Beethoven, Gershwin, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder. Add in audience participation, a touch of history, and plenty of laughs, and you’ve got an evening of pure musical joy.
