Trancelike states are often induced by Hosfelt, where visitors step from gritty sidewalks into dreamy, finely detailed interior worlds. Close inspection reveals that Crystal Liu's painterly still life is a photo of irises frozen in water, Rina Banerjee's shamanistic assemblages incorporate feathers and tiny bells and Julie Chang's transcendent wall drawings weave together textile patterns that defy international borders.
