"Conductor, a new art fair hosted by Powerhouse Arts opened in Brooklyn on Wednesday night with a crowd size expected from a biennial preview, rather than a typical fair opening. Within hours, more than 800 people had passed through Powerhouse Arts, drifting between booths that offered the unexpected.
...Meanwhile, Beya Gille Gacha, showing with Keijsers Koning, drew a steady crowd with a sculptural work built from glass beads, wax, fiberglass, concrete, and a living element in the form of a sage tree. The piece sits low to the ground and gathers organic and industrial materials without smoothing over the tension between them. Gacha, who is set to appear in the Cameroon Pavilion in Venice, had one of the more focused presentations in the fair, one that reads clearly even in a crowded room."
