 "Refracting Histories" features eight artists looking critically at the traditional canon within the history of photography. Each artist challenges, probes, or deconstructs well-known art historical legacies, revealing the contributions of overlooked makers as well as pervasive discrimination that maintains the status quo. While some artists appropriate well-known works into new forms, others set up a constructed environment to visualize lost histories. Collectively, the exhibition honors the malleable nature of photography as a fitting medium to redirect, reinterpret, and expand upon prescribed doctrines.
Exhibiting artists include Tarrah Krajnak, Aaron Turner, Sonja Thomsen, Colleen Keihm, Tom Jones, Nona Faustine, Kelli Connell, and Natalie Krick.

In this exhibition, Bool presents photo-based tapestries, photograms, and sculptures that probe the history of modernist architecture, revealing aspects of patriarchal standards and colonialism that underlie the legacies of some of architecture’s famous practitioners.

"Trust Visions" depicts the delirious optimism and haunting paranoia of being caught in delusions of grandeur. The lines that define this harsh reality soften and blur until all that’s left is blind confidence, a million good bad ideas, invincibility, a message from God, and a Birkin with a can of Red Bull and three lip glosses inside.
