Eighty of his drawings, which date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, will be shown alongside contemporary visualizations of the brain. The gallery’s second exhibition is devoted to Baya Mahieddine (known as Baya), an Algerian artist who has yet to gain international recognition.

The three entities will support each other through curated conversations, skill sharing, and collaborative projects with a goal of creating an ecosystem that connects extended reality artists in the US and Europe and beyond.
