Video Spotlights: Katherine Steichen Rosing

Current Exhibitions

Katherine Steichen Rosing
Harbingers

Harbingers is an immersive installation of organic, tattered fiber columns pierced by flame, suggesting a ghost forest in the aftermath of wildfire. Dozens of these forms, nearly 10 feet tall, are suspended from the ceiling with paths through the installation inviting viewers to contemplate the impact of extreme weather patterns like drought and the fires that follow, not only on forests, but on human survival.

Diana Mercado
La Casa en la Montaña

IA&A at Hillyer presents La Casa en la Montaña, an exhibition by Diana Mercado bringing together works from her two London exhibitions, Memories of the Andes (2023) and A Tale of the Andes (2025), within a new curatorial framework. The exhibition features 16 paintings, including a work that, together with a poem written for the exhibition, forms the conceptual and emotional bridge between the two original exhibitions. The title presents the house as a metaphor for the country left behind—an inner space shaped by memory, migration, and ancestral presence. Throughout the exhibition, the mountains remain a recurring symbol: constant, protective, and enduring across distance and time.
