"Hypertexturalities" in the words of painter Mark Milloff "is not a sequel but an evolution". That is that since the first exhibition "Hypertexture" (which attempted to survey the umbrella of pictorial morphologies which hypothetically fall under the so-named rubric of painterly, sculptural, digital and transmedial works which invest themselves of an economy of transversal simulacra) the appearance of this phenomenological order of art and or design has become more widespread.

"Hypertexture" can be seen in design (grasscrete) topiary (Robert Irwin's
take on trees as influenced by Arata Iozaki's computer renderings of them in
computer architectural simulations or the topiaries in the movie "aeon flux") and the amount of painters following from the trans-filmic lead-ins of Jackson Pollock, Jamie Dalglish, and David Reed into hypertextural morphologies grows into a lexicon.

This new exhibition will try to visit the place where architectures infuse and morphologies expand the fertile edge of a new aesthetic landscape where the plastic ends and the digital begins and the digital ends and the tactile
begins again.
