Nadia Hironaka & Matthew Suib: Mirrors, Marks, and Loops

Host Becca Lieb braves the Bolt Bus to visit Locks Gallery in Philadelphia, where Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib's collaborative exhibition, "Mirrors, Marks, and Loops" is on view. The exhibition presents pieces representing both artists' varied approaches to the moving image and its history.
