Certain motifs are inspired by woven textiles from the Philippines and the American quilt-making traditions of the Amish and Gee’s Bend. Color, materiality, and labor are interwoven, allowing for warping that alludes to the human body and lends a handmade tactility to the work. In his sewn paintings, the stability of the geometric forms is disrupted through the use of altered patterns and asymmetry, creating a space that’s dynamic and shifting – much like the concept of queerness itself. Kaveri Raina’s layered compositions convey a complex field of cultural and personal interrelationships associated with her bi-national upbringing between India and the United States. Brightly colored, protean shapes that hint at figuration drift across backgrounds painted on burlap. She paints on the back and front of the material, allowing the pigments to seep through the textured surface to connote being located in between cultures.&nbsp; For Raina, color is a tool used to unearth or trigger lost memories. She treats painting like clay, molding and sculpting out of colors that she associates with her childhood. The memories take shape on the surface yet are never fully resolved. Raina’s drawn to off-kilter schemes, pairs that don’t quite match or clash. A sensation of hovering, hanging just above, visible and present, yet distant, is a common thread; the work asks what it is to linger, to remain between here and there. <img width="1440" height="1080" width_o="1440" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/306af77e536d522fa8db86999d558a741e91c5bdfd65026237b8bf43d7afe1bb/Paolo_Kaveri_2.JPG" data-mid="53424118" border="0" data-scale="55" alt="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" data-caption="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/306af77e536d522fa8db86999d558a741e91c5bdfd65026237b8bf43d7afe1bb/Paolo_Kaveri_2.JPG" /> <img width="1440" height="1080" width_o="1440" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81e3950dfbf2d94fd164cb3276e88e982a6054325cddf5aa63920d1e8f82781e/Paolo_Kaveri_3.JPG" data-mid="53424031" border="0" alt="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" data-caption="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81e3950dfbf2d94fd164cb3276e88e982a6054325cddf5aa63920d1e8f82781e/Paolo_Kaveri_3.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3714e8b1539c61a927802fc32575c55a802f89a9535e71f24576ea67849e30c1/Paolo_Kaveri_6.jpg" data-mid="53424092" border="0" alt="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" data-caption="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3714e8b1539c61a927802fc32575c55a802f89a9535e71f24576ea67849e30c1/Paolo_Kaveri_6.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="1080" width_o="1440" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52047fb0118c4b2fdc57226d12ea3699cb737ca335ed17d2f409a4fa3ccd3acf/Paolo_Kaveri_1.JPG" data-mid="53424041" border="0" alt="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" data-caption="Installation View, Here or There, 1 Rivington Street, October 23 - November 24, 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52047fb0118c4b2fdc57226d12ea3699cb737ca335ed17d2f409a4fa3ccd3acf/Paolo_Kaveri_1.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7cafa1da2edaf6d187071d4967441531a8b9d2c39fe5a6219bb015d32937751/Paolo_Kaveri_4.JPG" data-mid="53424038" border="0" alt="Installation View, Here or There at 1 Rivington Street, October 2019" data-caption="Installation View, Here or There at 1 Rivington Street, October 2019" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7cafa1da2edaf6d187071d4967441531a8b9d2c39fe5a6219bb015d32937751/Paolo_Kaveri_4.JPG" /> ABOUT PAOLO ARAO Paolo Arao is a Brooklyn-based, Filipino-American artist working in painting and textiles.

Their practice shares a specific affinity for using the surface as a palimpsest for layering meaning and memory. This exhibition explores the excavation of personal history, fractured realities, and the character of the cities where these four artists have spent time creating. Audrée Anid’s ongoing series of 35mm color-film photographs, Re-Fractions and Peel layers textural oil paint and archival family photographs salvaged from her grandparents apartment in Beirut after a fire. The painterly interventions disrupt the documentary element of photography, speaking to the vacillating nature of identity, memory, and place. Having been raised in New York City, with frequent trips to Lebanon growing up, Beirut conjures ‘refracted’ perspectives for Anid - a locus for childhood memories and a place of ‘otherness.’ She will also be transforming the space of the gallery with architectural fragments on wall vinyl.Nicholas Cueva creates paintings and objects that resemble artifacts of a bygone era. Cueva becomes an intrepid voyager of the Endless Summer, creating paintings of surfers wading water in swampy oceanic sunsets. Cueva’s color space is comprised of dark earthy, muted tones with recurring red wine hues and blue-green water scapes. Vincent Dermody constructs sculptures that are tied to his own autobiography. Dermody’s sculptural practice is an outpouring of the artist’s psyche. His re-imagining of the sculptural collage technique, the “memory jug” comes together through accumulation and bricolage. The artist embeds found objects, personal mementos, and ephemera in globules of pigmented concrete oozing over empty beer growlers. The brash continuous colors and layering of materials give these works a punk irreverence. For this exhibition Dermody will be presenting two memory jugs functioning as vases with floral arrangements and a taxidermied cobra encased in colored concrete.Similar to Anid, Beirut also serves as a jumping off point for painter Darryl Westly in his investigations of perceived desire and projected fantasy. In October 2016, he was awarded a residency with Beirut Art Residency, his first trip outside North America. Westly translates the dissonance he felt between (largely xenophobic) portrayals of the region in Western news media and his experience with daily life in the city into colorful, hyper-realistic paintings that layer architectural elements and disruptive bursts of flora, furniture, and pixelated, protean sections of color. In this exhibition Westly will be presenting a large scale oil painting of bathing figures in a fractured floral interior scene. Audrée Anid is a Lebanese-American mixed-media artist and independent curator whose work spans photography, painting, and printmaking. Audrée was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1990 and grew up in the Bronx, New York.

The project is comprised of Allié’s life-size characters sewn out of plastic trash bags onto free-hanging canvas. The pieces will be visible from the exterior to engage passersby, as well as from within the space itself. Roger Salerno, a psychoanalyst and professor of sociology whose writing explores urban alienation and estrangement, calls laundromats “iconic places of loneliness,” in part because they provoke subconscious longings for domestic stability. The subjects depicted in this series are inspired by nomadic people seen on the street and informed by images found on the Internet. They evoke the history of the specific space and convey a more general sense of transience. Allié captures the pervasiveness and instability of migration by utilizing ephemeral yet familiar materials: trash bags are ubiquitous and taken for granted, designated for one-time use. Allié finds ways to recycle and breathe life into these castaway items, echoing the way in which El Espacio is being repurposed. These itinerant figures inhabit the public realm - the streets - and exist in a fleeting “in-between” state (in between homes, in between point A and point B. Merging with the objects they are carrying and the surrounding space, they become hybrid entities bordering on abstraction. Allié’s nomadic and marginalized figures connect with the history and environment of Little Havana, activating the empty storefront with their bold presence and drawing outside viewers to the exhibition within. Little Havana, which is known to be the home to many immigrants - moving from one place to another – will also be the temporary shelter to Allié’s itinerant characters, frozen in motion during their journey. <img width="750" height="759" width_o="750" height_o="759" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd4bc0e0810fce894d681d029253058ee9ff66a3dc505aaa0cf3fa86a0f9fc89/unnamed.png" data-mid="32192474" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/fd4bc0e0810fce894d681d029253058ee9ff66a3dc505aaa0cf3fa86a0f9fc89/unnamed.png" /> <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/63cc907fac8733780bbc060994a4bbeadd0787c85fee418c0cc3baf42f90dd95/unnamed.jpg" data-mid="32192511" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/63cc907fac8733780bbc060994a4bbeadd0787c85fee418c0cc3baf42f90dd95/unnamed.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24c334922e40ad1c2167a19bd7d93d281b2a08cfbe2318efff0847106eddce82/IMG-4240.JPG" data-mid="34589996" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24c334922e40ad1c2167a19bd7d93d281b2a08cfbe2318efff0847106eddce82/IMG-4240.JPG" /> <img width="1125" height="718" width_o="1125" height_o="718" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7565a1bf10e57d23f08005cf671268c137b75fc4c64b3558866f76a87af27b50/IMG-4408.JPG" data-mid="34589997" border="0" data-scale="43" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7565a1bf10e57d23f08005cf671268c137b75fc4c64b3558866f76a87af27b50/IMG-4408.JPG" /> <img width="2448" height="3264" width_o="2448" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efe924570f7356feb7ca5ad9670e4d0dd1e12a531fa6876057fc2459bab51555/IMG-4178.JPG" data-mid="34590402" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efe924570f7356feb7ca5ad9670e4d0dd1e12a531fa6876057fc2459bab51555/IMG-4178.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab8275ba98e6b4eae283958ea4539b4f73f1a8ecf1209e38f7284be79d971154/IMG-4136.JPG" data-mid="34590339" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab8275ba98e6b4eae283958ea4539b4f73f1a8ecf1209e38f7284be79d971154/IMG-4136.JPG" /> -- El Espacio is located in the heart of Miami, FL on the famous Calle Ocho street of Little Havana and next to Miami's iconic landmark, Versailles Cuban Restaurant. The space was formerly occupied by Cuban style bodegas such as the original Farmacia Luis. The facade of the building has remained intact, paying homage to the eclectic style of each of the bodega's unique storefronts while the interior has been altered into one 6,000 square foot space. https://rataprojects.com/Signs-Foretelling-November-2018 Tue, 06 Nov 2018 13:56:45 +0000 RATA Projects https://rataprojects.com/Signs-Foretelling-November-2018 Signs Foretelling&nbsp;November 29 - December 2, 2018&nbsp; Address: 131 Chrystie Street, New York&nbsp; Public Hours:&nbsp; Saturday, December 1st: 12-6PM&nbsp; Sunday, December 2nd: 12-6PM&nbsp; Yael Ben-Simon Mr. Kiji Charlotte Lethbridge Andre Szabo Darryl Westly <img width="4752" height="3168" width_o="4752" height_o="3168" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/951a1bf9b6dc03bbccece8df890ecbc90e40742c4ce314af0cf445554d358a57/IMG_0106.jpg" data-mid="29725733" border="0" alt="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, Paintings by Yael Ben-Simon (left) and Charlotte Lethbridge (right)" data-caption="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, Paintings by Yael Ben-Simon (left) and Charlotte Lethbridge (right)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/951a1bf9b6dc03bbccece8df890ecbc90e40742c4ce314af0cf445554d358a57/IMG_0106.jpg" /> <img width="3168" height="4752" width_o="3168" height_o="4752" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a6f01e245adff86552873cd152de852571ac2c44970726d233ba905592756d46/IMG_0085.jpg" data-mid="29724929" border="0" alt="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, Kiji McCafferty's Irish / American Flag" data-caption="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, Kiji McCafferty's Irish / American Flag" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a6f01e245adff86552873cd152de852571ac2c44970726d233ba905592756d46/IMG_0085.jpg" /> <img width="4752" height="3168" width_o="4752" height_o="3168" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d1c12c74dc3fa5d6c8f55fc565d1060fbc49da58715a4100381fad5ef56cba9/IMG_0087.jpg" data-mid="29724931" border="0" alt="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, 2018" data-caption="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, 2018" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d1c12c74dc3fa5d6c8f55fc565d1060fbc49da58715a4100381fad5ef56cba9/IMG_0087.jpg" /> <img width="2804" height="3939" width_o="2804" height_o="3939" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f310100ac6024a21db7c29acc642b9949293fa6fe8329683edb7ab53b7f4b0f7/IMG_0102.jpg" data-mid="29726050" border="0" alt="Installation view, Signs Foretelling, Paintings by Charlotte Lethbridge" data-caption="Installation view, Signs Foretelling, Paintings by Charlotte Lethbridge" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f310100ac6024a21db7c29acc642b9949293fa6fe8329683edb7ab53b7f4b0f7/IMG_0102.jpg" /> <img width="4565" height="3082" width_o="4565" height_o="3082" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6911187cea3ada83eeeec518499e5df4bc9752cea6333b60b26b737ac4f5329/IMG_0080.jpg" data-mid="29724928" border="0" alt="Installation view of Signs Foretelling, Paintings by Yael Ben-Simon " data-caption="Installation view of Signs Foretelling, Paintings by Yael Ben-Simon " src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6911187cea3ada83eeeec518499e5df4bc9752cea6333b60b26b737ac4f5329/IMG_0080.jpg" /> <img width="4752" height="2962" width_o="4752" height_o="2962" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53fa19c2059d365f1548affb207b696c55aa4461919493d878c2325d09e20975/IMG_0098.jpg" data-mid="29726220" border="0" data-scale="71" alt="Installation view, Signs Foretelling, Painting by Yael Ben-Simon" data-caption="Installation view, Signs Foretelling, Painting by Yael Ben-Simon" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53fa19c2059d365f1548affb207b696c55aa4461919493d878c2325d09e20975/IMG_0098.jpg" /> <img width="4625" height="2936" width_o="4625" height_o="2936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ddeff5635730eed5421ca849bad2b0e55e00414c55b9766dd2794ceee76b894d/IMG_0095.jpg" data-mid="29726866" border="0" alt="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, Kiji McCafferty's Conflict Quilt 1" data-caption="Installation View, Signs Foretelling, Kiji McCafferty's Conflict Quilt 1" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ddeff5635730eed5421ca849bad2b0e55e00414c55b9766dd2794ceee76b894d/IMG_0095.jpg" /> …Over the saints of debauchery Over criminals made of gold Over the princes of delirium Over the paupers of peace Over signs foretelling the end of the world Over signs foretelling the beginning of a world Like one of those tender strips of flesh On either side of the vertebral column Marcel, Wave! - Charles Henri Ford, FLAG OF ECSTASY (For Marcel Duchamp), 1972 RATA projects brings together contemporary artists to explore the loaded and multifaceted symbolism of flags - from personal ensigns, to nationalist icons, to design objects. Yael Ben-SimonYael Ben-Simon's manipulation of heraldic and national flag imagery forms the basis of her paintings, which explore nationality, politics, and history. &nbsp;Disarrayed, stretched, floating, or obscuring objects, the flags exist in a fictional space, the logic of which is unclear to the viewer. Removed from an overtly political context, the symbols on the flags become unintelligible, thereby challenging their status as venerated objects. &nbsp;Ben-Simon received her BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, Israel and her MFA from The School of the Art Institute Chicago, Chicago IL.&nbsp; Awards and residencies include the MASS MoCA Artist Residency, North Adams MA (2017); 4th 2017 ArtSlant Prize Showcase (2017); SIM Residency, Reykjavik Iceland (2016); PILOTENKUECHE Artist Residency, Spinnerei Leipzig Germany (2016). &nbsp;Select exhibitions include 'Out of My Book,' Soo Visual Arts Center, Minneapolis, MN (solo) (2018); 'Vagabond Time Killers,' The Wassaic Project, Wassaic NY (2017); Deal With It, Maake Magazine Fall 2016 Exhibition, Woksob Gallery, State College PA (2016); and 'Babel,' PILOTENKUECHE Halle 14, Spinnerei Leipzig, Germany (2016). Mr. KijiArtist, designer and muralist Kiji McCafferty's (aka Mr. Kiji) work is informed by his dual American and Japanese origins. Born in Japan to an American mother and a Japanese father, he grew up primarily in New Mexico and New York City. &nbsp;Fascinated by the history of US-Japan relations, particularly during World War II, the artist has explained that “American and Japanese culture are united because of the conflict...and there’s this weird mirroring and mimicry — these echo effects in pop-culture imagery.” &nbsp;Rather than making a value judgement on this relationship, Kiji aims to create "a language that deals with folklore and pop-culture references from when I was a kid,” incorporating imagery from sources as varied military patches for clandestine operations to comics. Kiji was formally trained in Tibetan Buddhist Thangka painting and earned his BFA in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI. His work has been featured in publications including The Creators Project and Wired, and he has produced murals of scale and editorial drawings for the New Yorker and Bloomberg, among others. In 2017, he was the subject of the Red Bull Arts Resident Exhibition in Detroit along with Tschabalala Self and Ellannah Sadkin. Charlotte Lethbridge In her newest paintings, Charlotte Lethbridge taps into American nostalgia and embeds her work with a sneaking sense of detachment. &nbsp;Her paintings are characterized by a muted color palette and minimal, sharp lines, amplifying quotidien moments; evoking longing and stillness through her depiction of the mundane. &nbsp;These paintings depict a Californian landscape in peril; both haunting and mesmerizing.&nbsp; Charlotte Lethbridge was born in Yonkers, NY in 1991. She received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts. In the summer of 2018, Lethbridge’s solo exhibition Cliffhangers, Red Herrings, and Unreliable Narrators was shown at Deborah Berke Partners’ project space in New York.&nbsp; Charlotte currently lives and works in Los Angeles. &nbsp; Andre Szabo Andre Bogart Szabo was born in Washington, DC in 1990 and is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. &nbsp;Szabo received his BA from Emerson College’s Visual Media Arts department. Since 2010 he has created paintings, drawings, prints, and videos. &nbsp;He recently completed an artist residency at MASS MoCA. Szabo’s mind-bending works on paper place an emphasis on repetitive mark-making and close attention to the economy of line. His most recent series, utilizes the printmaker’s brayer as an alternative to the painter’s brush; here, the artist hand-marks the paper with lithography ink. Darryl WestlyThrough his work, artist and curator Darryl Westly investigates perceived desire and projected fantasy. &nbsp;His hyper-realistic paintings layer personal iconography, art historical references, architectural elements with idealized landscapes and seductive figures. &nbsp;As Westly explains, “the legend of American exceptionalism and the reality of current of events has a created a steep contrast between the dream and reality of what this country really represents throughout the world today.” &nbsp;Westly graduated from Pratt Institute as a sculpture major and holds a BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and the Arts. He currently works alongside the art collective Bruce High Quality in Industry City, Brooklyn and in his studio in Chinatown, Manhattan. &nbsp;He has curated shows for Christie’s Auction House, FiveMyles and Miranda Kuo, and most recently was commissioned to design a Digital watch for Fossil. Select exhibitions of his work include ‘10 Years / 100 Sculptures’ curated by Curated by Todd von Ammon &amp; Joseph Ian Henrikson, Anonymous Gallery, Mexico City, Mexico (2018); ‘Ways to Die,’ Bruce High Quality Foundation, New York, NY (2018); and ‘Art Athina with Club Pro LA and The Institute for New Feeling,’ Tae kwon Do Pavillion, Athens, Greece (2015). &nbsp;In 2016, he was awarded a residency with Beirut Art Residency, Lebanon. https://rataprojects.com/Skip-Salvage-August-2018 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 17:45:24 +0000 RATA Projects https://rataprojects.com/Skip-Salvage-August-2018 Skip/Salvage July 25 - August 18, 2018 Opening reception July 25, 6-10pm 131 Chrystie Street New York, NY 10002 Fanny Allié Vincent Dermody Jason Douglas Griffin Jack Henry Tim Mitchell August Krogan Roley Alex Valls Jess Willa Wheaton For RATA Projects’ inaugural exhibition, curators Audrée Anid and Rachel Tretter will present Skip/Salvage, a group show of New York-based artists on view from July 25 - August 18, 2018.

figures fusing with their surroundings, bordering on abstraction. Abandoned debris, human beings, and the movement of the streets are coalesced and reformed into hybrid entities. Merged with their environment, her subjects become a type of cryptid or lost spirit, eerily human yet entirely different beings. Vincent Dermody:&nbsp;Since 2014, multidisciplinary artist Vincent Dermody has centered his practice around a sculpture collage technique which he calls the “memory jug,” a reference to an American folk art form of scrapbooking and memorializing. In the sculptures, Dermody layers and buries found and collected objects in concrete to create a palimpsest of personal anxieties, dreams, failures, and triumphs. Jason Douglas Griffin:&nbsp; Jason Douglas Griffin’s works act as fabricated archeological records of city walls, layering advertisements, graffiti, paint, and posters on paper. The groupings of found images in each piece are random, inviting viewers to develop their own narratives as to the links between the imagery. Griffin investigates the power of these visual relationships by working with multiple series simultaneously, breaking them down into component pieces, and then recombining them to create new content. Jack Henry:&nbsp;Sculptor Jack Henry forms monuments to post-industrial America, incorporating found objects from his environment into panels of resin and cement to create colorful, richly textured abstractions. Collecting left-behind items encountered during his daily routines, he recasts roadside memorials, tattered billboards, and objects relegated to the margins into poetic moments that transcend the original context of their source. Tim Mitchell:&nbsp;Using discarded construction materials and industrial paints, Timothy Mitchell creates abstract works through an intuitive process inspired by aerial landscapes and deep space as well by personal relationships. Ranging from monochrome to vibrantly colorful, his paintings evoke shifting topographies and intense emotion. Embracing the existing surfaces and forms of his found media, Mitchell's richly textured pieces reflect the story of their origins and the artist’s own experiences. August Krogan Roley:&nbsp;August Krogan Roley’s artistic practice has developed from exploring displaced marks in materials of habitual routine. His work includes paintings, transferred prints, collages and installations that combine amalgamated remnants of carpet and shoe soles to re-contextualize paintings’ canonized influence from nomadic tapestries. August often plays with notions of interior and exterior forces uniting to celebrate the transformation of pictorial space. Alex Valls:&nbsp;Alex Valls collects and reassembles detritus such as plastic, metal, wood, and glass into sculptures that register environmental and cultural sentiments and represent the shifting realities of the landscape. The objects reference the areas in which they are found and presented, owing to a specific city or place yet allowing for a reconsideration of their future. Viewing the found sculptural elements outside their predetermined setting allows for visual and/or conceptual abstraction. Jess Willa Wheaton:&nbsp;Jess Willa Wheaton explores pictorial surface tensions via collage constructions. She creates compositions that re-inscribe and unite found printed images with new meaning. Through careful construction, her work incorporates found imagery and material, pieced together to create new and engaging visual spaces.
