Joe Davidson created massive abstracts using Mylar and scotch tape. Roni Feldman‘s drawings focused on the links between science and religion centering around images of Isacc Newton, Ghandi and Einstein, while Lindsay Scoggi‘s musical  video loop utilized Miss Piggy and fellow Muppets urging us all to “Fuck the Pain Away.”  Material Manifestation, curated by Hoojung Lee, projected each artist’s unique vision while carrying through a cohesive theme by voicing commentaries on social and political issues and pop culture through the use modern materials.
