Locust Projects presents ‘How To: Oh Look at Me’ featuring GeoVanna Gonzalez
March 6, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Saturday, March 6th from 11am-5pm enjoy the opening of How To: Oh Look at Me featuring artist GeoVanna Gonzalez at Locust Projects. View the new site-specific large-scale installation by Miami-based artist GeoVanna Gonzalez, as well as a video installation curated by Dennis Scholl, President and CEO of Oolite Arts. RSVP here. Hours: BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Wednesday – Saturday, 11am-5pm.
HOW TO: Oh, look at me deepens Gonzalez’s commitment to creating provocative, participatory social spaces within institutional settings. As acts of queer infiltration, class—aware interventionism, her work wants us to see and explore, to dance and read—outloud the potential of our embodied cognition. We are only when we interact, when we commune.
The installation functions as the fifth iteration of the artist’s ongoing HOW TO series, in which Gonzalez creates works of art to accompany poems featured in the online open-source poetry collection tutorials by Martin Jackson at www.tutorials.fyi. Written and shared in cloud-based Google Docs, readers are invited to comment and edit the poems, creating a constantly-evolving, shifting collection of poetry that is never static or complete.
