Excited to be a part of ICOSA’s first show at Canopy! My generative pieces Tide and Scream for 2018 were selected for install in the front window. I’ll be gallery sitting from Fridays 3-6pm on August 3rd and 12-3pm on August 24th – come out, say hey and pick something up from our gift shop. I also re-designed the ICOSA website back in June.

OPENING RECEPTION
Friday, July 27, 7-10pm

EXHIBITION DATES
July 27 – August 25, 2018

Please join ICOSA Collective for the inaugural exhibition at our new space in the Canopy Complex showcasing the work of 11 new members: Leon Alesi, Amy Bench, Darcie Book, Rachelle Diaz, Sarah Hirneisen, Mark Johnson, Dameon Lester, Tammie Rubin, Lana Waldrep-Appl, and collaborative duo Carlos Carillo/Yevgenia Davidoff. Curated by Sean Redmond, editor of fields magazine, Are You Doing Your Part / In Your Life? explores personal and communal responsibility in the context of artistic pursuit. Together the work will question what it means to enshrine something and strip it of its practical value, devoid of functionality yet imbued with creative power.

Sean Redmond is the editor in chief of fields, an arts and culture journal that celebrates the up-and-coming and the unsung. fields explores the stories behind the artists’ work while promoting progressive change necessary to foster a more just and compassionate society. Sean has curated various art shows in Austin, and his writing has appeared in Pitchfork, Newcity, The Hypocrite Reader, Fjords, Rubberneck, and elsewhere.
