In Translation
The Project Space at Amos Eno Gallery | New York, NY
April 30—June 7, 2026


In Translation brings together five artists whose works examine how inherited systems — linguistic, biological, algorithmic, political, and ritual — shape identity and belonging. Across drawing, painting, sculpture, and collage, the exhibition asks how forms are received and remade: to be patterned by forces larger than the self, and to respond by constructing new visual languages.

Curated by gallery director Ellen Sturm Niz, the exhibition traces a shared tension between origin and invention — between what is given and what is built in response. Each artist engages a distinct system of transformation, from cultural displacement and personal syntax to painterly fracture, algorithmic logic, and political interference. Translation emerges here not as loss, but as a generative act — a process of absorbing disturbance and reconstituting it as meaning.

At a moment when identity is increasingly mediated by technology, migration, and political division, the question of how meaning is constructed — and who constructs it — feels newly urgent. In Translation responds by foregrounding artists who do not simply receive these systems, but actively reshape them.

Artists: Zoë Elena Moldenhauer, Allison Pottasch, Olga Rudenko, Sasha Skulinets, and Christopher Squier.
