A Space is proud to present Please Do Not Feed the Humans, a group exhibition featuring works by Cary Hulbert, Eric Honghao Zhao, Emilia Levin, Keerim Kim, William Hammond, Sarah Goldberg and SICA (Jessica Wu). The exhibition will be on view from October 2 to October 15, 2026.
Humans and animals have always shared spaces, relationships, and ways of understanding the world.
Animals can become companions, family, strangers, or mirrors, carrying ideas of care, survival,
belonging, memory, and desire.
Please Do Not Feed the Humans borrows its title from the familiar warning found in zoos and reverses
the human–animal gaze. Across domestic spaces, imagined ecosystems, social encounters, and
landscapes of memory and ruin, the works explore the ways animals reflect the lives we have built around
them. Here, humans move from observer to observed, inviting us to look again at ourselves through the
lives of other forms of life.
Cary Hulbert, Untitled (2026)
A New York–based artist, educator, and curator whose practice is rooted in printmaking and expanded through painting. Her work explores mutation, spirituality, and dreamlike environments, depicting imagined natural worlds in which flora and fauna intertwine and transform. Hulbert earned her MFA from Columbia University in 2016 and has exhibited at institutions and galleries including the Bronx Museum, The Jewish Museum, Fisher Landau Center, and IPCNY.
Eric Honghao Zhao, A horse moves quietly through
Aldo Rossi’s city of the dead (2026)
An architect, filmmaker, and interactive media artist currently teaching at The Cooper Union in New York. His practice spans interactive art, architecture, cinema, and generative AI, exploring relationships between the body, space, media, and perception through moving images, spatial installations, and digital technologies. He is a Silver Award recipient of the Asian Design Award, and his moving-image work has been screened at a film festival in Los Angeles and exhibited at Nike during Shanghai Fashion Week.
Emilia Levin, Party Animals (2026)
A New York–based artist currently pursuing a BFA at Parsons School of Design with a minor in Museum and Curatorial Studies. Her practice explores childhood, memory, nostalgia, and identity through dreamlike compositions drawn from personal experiences, family archives, objects, and animals. Using humor, distortion, and folklore symbolism, Levin reimagines memories of home and explores the formation of identity between personal experience and cultural tradition.
Keerim Kim, Corners (2025)
A Korean painter based in New York City whose practice centers on oil painting and mixed-media work. Her work explores intimate spaces, memory, movement, and the relationship between bodies and their environments. Kim received her B.A. from Hunter College in 2019 and completed The Canopy Program at NYC Crit Club in 2024. She is a recipient of the Kossak Painting Fellowship and has exhibited in New York, Seoul, and other cities internationally.
William Hammond, Bad Habitat (2025)
A sculptor from Northern New Jersey whose practice explores landscapes where nature and urban environments intersect. Through dioramas and interactive media, he creates environments in which different species encounter one another, examining relationships between humans, animals, and constructed spaces. Hill received his BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in 2025 and has exhibited in New York and New Jersey, with artist residencies in Jersey City and Berlin.
Sarah Goldberg, Frog Legs (2023)
A multidisciplinary artist from Scranton, Pennsylvania, whose practice examines the relationship between humanity and societal systems. Working across sculpture, drawing, and painting, she uses materials such as cast iron and concrete
alongside human and animal imagery to explore power, hierarchy, identity, and social structures. Goldberg received her BFA in Studio Art from SUNY Cortland in 2025 and has exhibited her work in the United States and internationally.
SICA (Jessica Wu), BON APPÉTIT - Part 1(2025)
A Taiwanese visual artist based in London whose practice spans photography, moving image, installation, and material-based work. With a background in theatre, she approaches photography as a space of staging rather than documentation, exploring relationships between bodies, objects, and environments. She holds a BA from the National Taiwan University of Arts and an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art. Her work considers perception, memory, intimacy, and material transformation through physical and spatial encounters.
