As a means of showcasing Austin’s vibrant art scene and connecting it to the more performance-based core of the Fusebox Festival, guest curator Michael Anthony García presents this year’s visual arts programming at the Fusebox HUB: The “It’s Not” Fair is a playful take on the idea of art fairs and booths, representing eight of the important galleries and collectives in the city’s art nexus. Presented as a sci-fi alien menagerie/ collection of works of art that embody the essence of each art space and their programming.
The “It’s NOT” Fair features the work of Cande Aguilar, Hiba Ali, Jay Roff-Garcia, Steve Parker, Andie Flores & Sam Lavigne, and Mónica Vega, sponsored by grayDUCK Gallery, Black Mountain Project, Co-Lab Projects, Ivester Contemporary, Museum of Human Achievement, and Big Medium respectively, while both ICOSA and MASS are each collaborating within their organizations to develop installations as collectives.
ICOSA’s installation for the The It’s NOT Fair will be The New Landscape. An otherworldly installation designed by Darcie Book that creates a unified, cosmic space while bringing you a sampling of Not-NFTs from the far reaches of the universe.
