Closing in 4 days! Come check out Louise Despont: Energy Scaffolds and Information Architecture, Jennifer Bartlett: Hospital, and Please Make This Look Nice 
In the Hospital pastels, Bartlett visually expresses what might be called “hospital time,” a temporality marked by the alteration of periods of intense treatment and extreme boredom that fosters a hyper-attunement to small changes in one's immediate surroundings.  From pastel to pastel, Bartlett tracks micro-shifts, rendering similar landscapes at different times of day and under different weather conditions or drawing the way a railing in a corridor stretches into the distance from two distinct vantage points.  Her attention to these kinds of details, reflected in shifts of color and perspective, imbue the works with a palpable sense of her own changing emotional states, which seem to oscillate between resignation and hope. This logic of alteration and subtle shifts is reinforced by the way Bartlett pairs her pastels by subject matter.
