The exhibitions will be on view from August 1 through September 12, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, August 1, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM in conjunction with White Linen Night.
Visitors first encounter Off the Playa, an exhibition featuring artists whose immersive installations and sculptures have appeared at Burning Man. A monumental window installation by Wendo Brunious introduces the exhibition before leading into works by Los Angeles artist Matt Elson alongside New Orleans artists Walker Babington, JoLean Barkley, Wendo Brunious, William Nemitoff, Josh Pitts, and Brennan Steele.
At the center of the exhibition is Elson’s Infinity Box, an interactive light installation in which two participants stand opposite one another as shifting reflections merge their faces into a single image. Throughout the gallery, light and participation become sculptural materials. William Nemitoff’s suspended “soft coral” installation invites tactile interaction, while Josh Pitts’ Kettleflower transforms an eleven-foot-diameter sunflower into a luminous environmental sculpture. Together, these works extend the experimental spirit of Burning Man into the gallery, where spectacle becomes an invitation for contemplation and connection.
