Thank you @oliviarodrigo for inviting me to @daisychainfields ! To be in cahoots with these artists and musicians makes my rebel girl heart soar! My plan is twofold—with textiles I get to take up epic space, but I also get to harness all this energy and fold it up and take it home with me - I’m so energized by this epic day, and I’m forever thankful to be in this Daisychain orbit 🌼

Hey now - a couple of these photos I yanked from insta, so let me know and I’ll tag/credit!

Thanks baddie @lindsay_laricks_design for the photo of me and my bestie:)

I am so excited to finally see Sequesterings at the CVA in Denver! One of my prouder moments co-curating and highlighting the exquisite and meaningful work of these brilliant artists from Project Vortex. Plus being part of an exhibition that makes a collective nightmare quite dreamy. I am presenting there this Thursday if you are in the area! (Tickets available at The Center for Visual Art.) Including work by: Anna Mein, Ian Trask, Kelsey Wagner, Pamela “Posey” Moulton, Portia Munson, Natalya Khorover, Blue McRight, Twyla Exner, Calder Kamin and yours truly. 🩵

✿ welcome the Guerrilla Girls to #DaisyChainFields ✿

‘The Art of Behaving Badly’ by Guerrilla Girls is coming to Daisy Chain Fields!

make sure to visit the ‘Complaints Department’ to air your grievances about the state of the world or anything else you want to express, on giant chalkboards – and the opportunity to chat to the iconic Guerilla Girls!

gorilla masks will conceal their identities; dead female artists serve as pseudonyms.
founded in New York in 1985, the @guerrillagirls are anonymous artist activists who use disruptive headlines, outrageous visuals and killer statistics to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in art, film, politics and pop culture.

#REPOST @alien.artspace 𝗥𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘁 The exhibition by artworms

“Rifted Drift”, a group exhibition at Alien Artspace, showcases a volume of works inspired by a research trip along the Mekong River in the small town of Pak Chom in Loie. Over several months in late 2023 the artist-researchers explored this region, a region grappling with both tangible and intangible crises largely stemming from the unsustainable and rapid exploitation of its resources. The appropriated term “metabolic rift,” articulated by ecological socialists, explains a disruption in the relationship between human and non-human nature caused by industrial capitalism.

As a result of this creative process, a group called ‘artworms’ was formed and thus, organized a festival at the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. The artists-researchers involved have diverse interests and include Rungsak Anuwatwimon, Pietro Lo Casto, Anusorn Tanyapalit, Chalitaporn Yamoon, Natthapon Chaiworawat, Kelsey Merreck Wagner, and Worathep Akkabootara. The exhibition aims to share both individual and collective perspectives on the Mekong River’s changing environment and culture. The humble and fragile material used in the exhibition hopes to engage the local audience in lively conversations about the Mekong’s current state through contemporary art.

Date: Oct 11st - Dec 1st, 2024
Time: 8 AM - 5 PM, open daily
Venue: ALIEN Artspace
