Our fourth VIEWLIST exhibition is conceived by artist and MINUS SPACE director Matthew Deleget.
Ever since I was a graduate student at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in the mid-1990s, I've been thinking about another art school on the other side of the East River: Hunter College.

Hunter remains a beacon in today's post-everything art world.
