For the past few months, Level Gallery has hosted a Curator-in-Residence program supported by Rockella Space. The program invited recent School of the Visual Arts graduate Eunice CHEN Yuyue to visit the studios of Rockella Space Members at both One Eyed Studios and Brown Bears Studios. The result of her research is Over-Compression, an exhibition of Rockella Space Members.

Over-Compression brings together a group of Brooklyn-based artists, whose artwork showcase their diverse identities in an oversaturated city. In the era of information overload, more data continues to be compressed into a larger and smoother appearance—an electronic screen or monitor. Through drawings, paintings, photographs, and sculptures, the artists offer new coping mechanisms for managing information overflow in both virtual and physical spaces.
