Pat Oleszko's 'Fool Disclosure' at the Sculpture Center in Long Island City was pure joy from start to finish — a life's work of playful inflatables and socially sharp pieces that filled the space with energy and wit. I had a fantastic time photographing the exhibit and sitting down with Pat for an interview. Both are coming soon to Vaudevisuals.com. Stay tuned!
📅 Fool Disclosure ran January 29 – April 27, 2026.
