Sasha Fishman '24 Fixates on Fish in Solo Exhibition at ILY2 Gallery
Sasha Fishman '24, an alum and adjunct assistant professor at Columbia, presents her solo exhibition "Shad Mode" at ILY2 Gallery in Portland, Oregon. The show, which stems from her summer residency at ILY2, features sculptures made from materials like egg yolk-tanned sturgeon skin, ceramics, UV prints, and lamprey teeth, exploring the relationships between fish, their ecosystems, and human intervention. Works such as "Immortal by Wifi" and "Each Time You Bathe Me" blend natural and synthetic elements, while a fish cannon encircles the gallery, highlighting modern technologies used to transport fish over dams.
