ISSUES presents an exhibition of new works by Zoe Barcza called Haute Speech. Utilizing her characteristic airbrush and collage technique, Barcza’s paintings seem to portray a real estate agent hustling through a vibrant cityscape that vividly glares and reflects on her face. The exhibition will be accompanied by a text written by Erik Lavesson and a poster created by Naoki Sutter Shudo.
