Experimental Art Space
An experimental art space and residency. From souvenir to record shop, we redefined the space with each exhibition.
Current
Inquiry
Ongoing inquiries delve into:
the collection and performance for acts of care, self-conditioning, and the space of introspection - a project that is currently reimagining a shattered tempered glass collection swept from the streets of Oakland, CA. - The Society for Care And Maintenance;
and HOME PRODUCTIONS: reconstructions of the post-colonial home through memory, photograph, archival processes, and perspectival drawing technique – including works acquired by the Smithsonian NMAAHC digital archive, and commissioned for the 2025 Chicago Architecture Biennial and the Arts + Public Life initiative - South Side Home Movie Project.
