Ethan Greenbaum & Sun You
October 21st, 2025
Soundtracks both real and imagined were the inspiration for the playlist of the great artists, educators, curators, and longtime couple Sun You and Ethan Greenbaum.
Ethan engages with the iconography of public urban spaces, from signage to advertisements to the plywood barriers around building sites. His complex process incorporates printing, painting, and sculpting to create ambiguous yet compelling objects.
Sun’s work brings together baked polymer clay, cut and manipulated canvas, and paint to create intricate abstractions. Concentrating on play, intuition, and self-imposed constraints, Sun works a kind of alchemy of improvisation on humble materials.
The focus of our conversation was their two-person show “Fun,” full of new works on view at Geary in Millerton, NY from October 11 to December 7, 2025. The juxtaposition of the two artists’ work and practices finds form in a photo mural on either side of the central wall dividing the exhibition space. This mural is composed of an index of images of Ethan’s and Sun’s work in progress and life together.
Like the mural, our discussion roams topics from process and materials to ideas and politics to the challenges and benefits of being a creative couple!

October 7, 2025
We’re in the midst of a government shutdown and the National Guard has invaded Chicago. So I dusted off an old mixtape from the fall of 2008 for this music-only show. A little bit of grimy hopefulness in a grim time.

Katarina Burin
September 23, 2025
When she was a child, Katarina Burin escaped communist Czechoslovakia with her family on the pretense of going on vacation. This transformational moment was foundational in a practice that engages the intersections of architecture, sculpture, drawing, research, and memory. Her process involves delving deep into discrete bodies of work, translating ideas into elegant, slightly uncanny, forms. One of her earlier endeavors was a creative research project about the underrepresented Czech architect Petra Andrejova-Molnár—a woman who, despite limited opportunities, managed to create her own body of work in community with other architects and designers in the interwar period. Burin’s most recent works, collectively called “For the Benefit of Tourism,” are a meditation on tourist propaganda made for and consumed by residents of Eastern Bloc countries. Like all of her work, these pieces explore the connections between history, communication, politics, fact, fiction, and form. We discuss all of this as well as anti-monuments, communism, public and private space, and all the different places Burin has lived. Fittingly, her playlist is an upbeat, eclectic, thoroughly international selection of songs that is perfect for working in the studio! Burin’s work truly rewards extended looking and thinking—find it at www.katarinaburin.studio

Working in museum, gallery, public space, and the space of existing and imagined architecture, Katarina Burin often reconsiders narratives both historical and personal. Using archival material and invented forms, true stories, and imperfect memories—Burin blends fact and fiction sometimes in equal measure—to produce installations, images and objects that are at times functional, at times fantastical, occasionally commemorative, and often mysterious, playing with levels of subtlety and immersiveness.
Katarina Burin received her BFA from University of Georgia and MFA from Yale University and is currently associate senior lecturer at Harvard University’s department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies. She was awarded a Guggenheim in 2025.
