Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

Endearing Insanity
2022HD video with stereo sound, 9 minutes. Mundane words of self-introduction, sensual but eerie bodily gestures, and dramatic sound effects feature in Endearing Insanity, reflecting on the longing for connection and the desire for visibility within a displaced environment. Staged within a small apartment kitchen, the seemingly ragged protagonist, constrained in various enclosed spaces such as a cabinet, microwave, and sink, performs a monologue waiting for someone to visit.

A Recital
2020HD video with stereo sound, 4 minutes. Under cherry blossoms, a half-naked boy-man figure is playing the piano. The protagonist appears melancholy and plays 'Am Meer' (By the Sea). Inspired by a poem by the German poet Heinrich Heine, the melody is composed by the German composer Franz Schubert, contemplating loneliness and mortality.

Recess
2020HD video, silent, 4 minutes. A series of dreamlike vignettes portrays a boy-man character sitting alone in a timeless, cave-like classroom. The wind blows the curtains; ceiling fans operate endlessly; clouds slowly pass through the blue sky; a group of butterflies subtly flap their wings on a bulletin board. A ray of sun breaks the darkness of the room through the window, almost like a rope, illuminating the statue-like figure.
