"Uneven Balance, Now" is the unexpected harmonious interaction of two distinct visual expressions in a specific moment in time — here and now. It encompasses an explosion of divine organization found in Fagerberg’s organic compositions and Martos’ orderly structure within premeditated and unforeseen symmetry. In this exhibition, the viewer’s presence is the key, the final ingredient bringing the artwork’s concepts to life.

Balance is found throughout this exhibition. It’s in the even distribution of the artwork in the space, the harmony between the artists’ work, and in the parallels of their cultural backgrounds. Natural elements — such as light, lenticular and reflective surfaces — interact with colorful monofilaments in Martos’ work, complementing the absence of color in Fagerberg’s pieces.The resulting high-contrast tension defies the inherent bi-dimensional qualities of the work.

The viewer is at the center of the experience of "Uneven Balance, Now". The viewer’s conscious presence connects the unexpected harmony in the artwork to the universal, but never replicable, context of the viewer’s perception in the here and now.
