Artists manuel arturo abreu, DB Amorin, Jonathan González, fields harrington, sidony o’neal, and Africanus Okokon traverse causal, alogical, and ritualistic modes of knowledge formation. Their works across sculpture, new media, sound, print, installation, and video evoke the often denigrating phrase “magical thinking,” which to skeptics suggests an impossibility or distortion in the connection between beliefs and reality.
