Yuni Lee’s work brings together Korean visual tradition, systems thinking, and exuberant color in compositions that oscillate between order and improvisation. Monumental in scale and intricate in construction, her paintings reward sustained attention.
A Lead Faculty member at UNT and recipient of the 2023 Women & Their Work Award, Lee is one of the most compelling abstract painters working in North Texas today.
Her exhibition, Tides of Equilibrium, opens Saturday, May 16 at Ro2 Art alongside Yuliya Lanina’s Broken Lullabies.
📍 2606 Bataan St, Dallas – Tin District

Yuliya Lanina is a professor, Fulbright Scholar, and Women & Their Work alumna whose multidisciplinary practice draws on childhood imagery, folklore, and the unconscious. Her works inhabit the space between tenderness and disquiet – images that comfort and unsettle in equal measure.
Her new exhibition, Broken Lullabies, opens Saturday, May 16 at Ro2 Art alongside Yuni Lee’s Tides of Equilibrium.

In 'Tides of Equilibrium,' Yuni Lee brings together the visual language of data, nature, and abstraction. Her paintings suggest systems in constant negotiation -- fluid, responsive, and quietly precise. Gold surfaces, atmospheric color, and intricate structures converge in compositions that feel both deeply intuitive and rigorously constructed.
Opening this Saturday, May 16, alongside Yuliya Lanina’s 'Broken Lullabies.'

A final procession through illumination, patronage, spectacle, exclusion, and the architecture of invitation.

Closing Reception + Artist Talk: Saturday, May 9 - 8pm
The Faire is a large-scale new media exhibition examining the hidden economies of cultural participation. Drawing from the medieval Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, Nam June Paik’s televisual lineage, and the theatrics of an art fair,
Cleveland transforms Ro2 into a luminous landscape of monumental projections, looming sculptural forms, live surveillance systems, and flickering screens — part cathedral, part server room, part art fair afterimage. Systems of gatekeeping, extraction, and spectacle exist around art because we participate in them. Our attention feeds them. The work asks what we are actually devoted to — the art, or the machinery that surrounds it.
Only a few days remain to catch These Faire and Carla Gannis' cinematic work "model of me." join us Friday night at 8pm for Projection Night, when the Gallery is alive with moving images and again on Saturday from 8 to 10 when we have an Art Talk with Taylor Cleveland and Carla Gannis which will begin at 8:30. #ro2art #contemporaryart #thefaire #taylorcleveland #carlagannis
Last night the walls were alive.
Taylor Cleveland doesn’t revive old manuscripts — he builds new ones. The iconography is the art world itself: the fair, the collector, the screen, the price. The Faire turns Ro2 into a cathedral of contemporary devotion — monumental projections asking who and what we actually worship when we say we love art.
Next door, Carla Gannis’s Model of Me goes somewhere else entirely. It’s a surreal encounter between Gannis and her AI alter ego, C.A.R.L.A. — set inside a virtual world built from her own sculptures, assemblages, and wearables. C.A.R.L.A. gets upgraded with human senses one by one: touch, smell, sight, sound, gravity. And each time, the limits of what a system can actually know become clearer. It asks what it means to be seen by something that can learn everything — except what it feels like to live, age, and let go.
Two works. One asks what we’re devoted to. The other asks what devotion even feels like to something that can’t feel it.
We’re closed Sunday and Monday. Back Tuesday — and it’ll still be there.

Tonight the gallery transforms.
Taylor Cleveland’s 'The Faire' fills Ro2 with monumental projections — animated illuminated manuscripts pulled from centuries of devotional image-making into the present tense. Part cathedral, part server room, part art fair afterimage. Systems of gatekeeping, extraction, and spectacle exist around art because we participate in them. Our attention feeds them. The work asks what we are actually devoted to.
In the adjacent room, Carla Gannis presents Model of Me — a cinematic work about perception, time, and care as medium. Together, these two bodies of work move between the systemic and the intimate.
This is the kind of work you have to be in the room to experience.

The Faire
Excerpts from two distinct projected works in the exhibition: a 22-foot illuminated manuscript projection on the back wall, and a separate projection of devotional text about art storage.
Systems of gatekeeping, extraction, and spectacle exist around art because we participate in them. Our attention feeds them. The work asks what we are actually devoted to - the art, or the machinery that surrounds it.
The exhibition is open during regular hours. Projections are best viewed at night.
In Ro2's new media room, Carla Gannis presents Model of Me - a cinematic work moving between painting, photography, sculpture, and AI. It is a work about perception: how feeling is translated, how time is rendered visible, and how care becomes the medium itself.
Night viewings: Fridays, 8–10 PM
Free tickets: /e/1988050365159
Appointments available for additional evening viewings.

At Ro2, REVIVAL has become more than an exhibition framework. It reflects an ongoing commitment to recirculation, reconsideration, and the continued life of works that deserve sustained attention beyond a single opening or moment of visibility.
While REVIVAL REMIXED closes Saturday, the larger premise remains active. Following a short pause for special programming during Art Fair week and through April -- including Taylor Cleveland’s The Faire and featured cinematic work by Carla Gannis, Model of Me -- REVIVAL will continue as a recurring thread in our program throughout 2026, and likely beyond.
On view through Saturday, April 4
Tuesday - Saturday | 12 - 5 PM

In these paired paintings from A Labor of Love, Hanna Kratsman-Robles makes a case for love as something built – not announced. Not spectacle, but practice. Daily, enduring, and made with intention.
Seen together, these works hold a whole rhythm of shared life. On the left, Hanna places herself inside a moment of appetite, memory, and language – tenderness made tactile, intimate, and unguarded. On the right, her partner David appears in Love Work, absorbed in the quiet choreography of care: preparing food, tending to the ordinary, carrying that particular expression of someone doing something small that means much more than it seems.
What emerges between them is not just portraiture, but a portrait of relation itself. Cooking, eating, remembering, making – these are the small labors that hold a life together. Kratsman-Robles gives those gestures weight without overstatement, letting domestic space become charged, psychologically rich, and quietly luminous.
There is affection here, but also attention. Humor, devotion, routine, and reciprocity. The works don’t idealize love so much as locate it where it actually lives – in repetition, care, and the subtle ways people make a world together.
On view now in A Labor of Love by Hanna Kratsman-Robles at Ro2 Art. Exhibition closes this Saturday, April 4.
