This May, FJORD is excited to announce XYZ Access, featuring work by Logan Elise Crompton, Jocelyn Tsui and Ryan Scails. This exhibition was curated by Sean M. Starowitz from the FJORD 2025 Open Call submissions and runs May 9th to June 13th 2026.
Taking inspiration from perforation logic and the doubling of perception, XYZ Access explores how we navigate boundaries between the body and the spaces it occupies within physical and digital realities. By employing the grid as a framework for recording the familiar, the artists reveal underlying patterns within our domestic and digital lives, suggesting that what often feels like chance is, in fact, deeply structural.
Distilling the complexities of 21st-century life into a series of coordinates through image, print and sculpture, XYZ Access invites viewers to look at their own surroundings with a renewed sense of curiosity. Compton utilizes grids as a primary tool for mapping and charting the recurring imagery of immediate life. Tsui's work investigates the geopolitical perforation of space and place, such as the infamous Kowloon Walled City. Scails’ work embodies thresholds in physical forms, interrogating access and the pursuit of empirical knowledge.
The community is invited for an opening reception Saturday May 9th from 6-9pm. FJORD is open 1-5pm on Saturdays and by appointment. To schedule an appointment please email fjord.curator@gmail.com.
