About the Artist
Sev Coursen is an artist working in photography, sculpture and film and video production.
Based in Austin, Texas; his work has been presented in exhibitions, screenings and performances in the United States and Europe. Sev Coursen’s portable objects are self-contained sculptures that can be expanded for presentation in a variety of display environments and easily collapsed for storage and transport. The design and development of folding objects is a longtime component of his art production. Expandable features of the portable objects range in complexity from basic hinged elements to hand-milled wooden articulated hinge mechanisms that can be adjusted to multiple display configurations. Window Dressing XLV: Portable Objects will feature the debut of two newly completed folding sculptures and a selection of additional objects from this unique body of work.

About
Window Dressing highlights the work of new members, emerging, local, and underrepresented artists with short-run shows on view while the main gallery is closed for installation. Window Dressing artists will explore the potential of our storefront window space, experimenting with the possibilities of limitation. Exhibitions are on view 24/7 through the gallery’s front glass.
