✅ done with CAA! workshopped new ideas (and my new beard) this morning on this wonderful panel “Sea Inside”—excited for future conversations ahead!
three of the four panels touched on aquariums — including Yuki Kihara’s proposal for a Fa'afafine aquarium, attuned to Samoan gender categories and sex changing fish! Can’t stop thinking about it! #CAA2025 @curatingthesea
We can't wait!
I’ll be presenting at #CAA2025 on Saturday, 9am! this is a side project I’m playing around with on sculptures exhibited inside of aquariums, 1900-today how does water transform sculptures? what would a “milieu-specific” analysis of underwater modernism look like? 🦀 🌊 🤿
We're in New York for #CAA2025, where we are convening the session 'Sea Inside: Oceanic Interiority in Art and Visual Culture' with some excellent sounding papers caa.confex.com/caa/2025/meeti…
