Meet GLO Modern

GLO Modern is an experimental gallery and contemporary souvenir shop where art and design collide in bold, unexpected ways.
Co-founded by Lora Appleton (kinder MODERN) and Lena Imamura (Glo Studio), the operation redefines the traditional gallery model with a fresh, dynamic hybridity: part art gallery, part design shop, with a full-service art and design advisory—complete with in-house production and fabrication capabilities.  

MATRIXED SYSTEMS

May 29, 2026

Jun 29, 2026

There is a standard palette of systems within the fabrication and exhibition of art, ones that cohorts of artists have inherited and worked within across art history. Matrixed Systems assembles artists and technologists working through new ones, building the exhibition itself as one of them. Each work is a live test into what those systems can carry and what they were never designed to hold.

The exhibition is constructed in four layers: a collaborative curatorial framework, an artist umbrella over the room, and three circuits that hold six individual works. Within those six, Matrixed Systems presents an archived exhibition and another exhibition opening within.

Each artist uses technology not as a tool but as the structure through which ideas are built and shared. The matrix here is not a metaphor. It is the system of structures through which the work operates.
