The House Isn’t Still
November 20 - November 30, 2025
Rosenberg Gallery
Barney Building, 34 Stuyvesant St.

Suha Baqar
Mae Hutchinson .hutch

The House Isn’t Still traverses various environments, settings, and structures as a method of questioning the notion of home. The familiar is set against the uncanny and strange – creating a tension between comfort and alienation. Windows are obsessively and repeatedly rendered, documenting the process of looking through, of becoming observer and outsider. Made collaboratively, the painting Home weaves together the two artists’ perspectives to reconfigure and destabilize notions of order that are often associated with built space. Mae’s sculptures explore houses in dream-like states and in periods of transformation. Suha’s paintings explore the thin boundary between comfort and discomfort of familiar places. Both artists replicate the broad and the minuscule, contemplating how perceptions of lived-in spaces – homes, garages, cars – intersect with fantastical realms and the cosmos.

On view to members of the NYU community and sponsored visitors.

Please join us this Thursday, November 20 at 5:30pm at the Einstein Auditorium for a talk by visiting artist Gina Beavers! Throughout her practice, Gina Beavers (b. 1974; Athens, Greece) examines notions of selfhood and the construction of identity through the lens of online media consumption. With a remarkable fluency in the particular visual vernacular of the internet, Beavers reimagines various aspects of online culture—makeup tutorials, memes, food p**n, bodybuilding selfies, and digital advertisements—in sculptural relief paintings that intrigue and repulse in equal measure. Mining the calculated, surreal perfection of the images she encounters on her own Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok feeds, Beavers’s paintings operate as a sort of self-portrait visualized through endless scrolling and liking and commenting.
