NEGATIVE SPACE (and other planes of there)

May 24 – June 22, 2019

Exploring the in-between of signifiers and narrative, Leon Alesi and Bug Davidson cite ancestral lineage, uncomfortable compromise and abrasion of edges in this two person show at ICOSA Gallery. Using photography, moving image, installation, assemblage and found objects, these artists attempt to visualize an embrace of primordial truths, reckless erasure, inventive histories and contracts of coercion.
