"The first Focus exhibition for the 2009–2010
season will feature the work of Gardar Eide Einarsson, who often

and the painful limits of transgressing society-imposed boundaries.
Growing up in Oslo, Norway, which is widely regarded as one of the
safest cities in the world, and then moving to New York two days before
September 11, 2001, has given Einarsson a broad perspective on the
notion of the institution and how it impacts our lives."
