Julia Blaukopf is a social artist and photographer who focuses on the work of creatives and innovators in Germany to craft visual narratives that speak to the story behind each subject.  She fuses the images with various materials including wallpaper, glass disks, shells, and fabric to create installations that speak to documentary and design.

On our walking tour yesterday, before all the shows change over, we stopped by LG Tripp. The show features two versions of aggressive by Plamen Veltchev and Alison Stigora. Veltchev's feature sharp machine made objects while Stigora's are made of ominous yet less threatening wood.

The huge installation in the back room will surprise you. Go and experience this show before it closes. We'd love to know what you think.

You won't come out of this show without an opinion.
