Flavia D'Urso
Gallery Artist in Residence
Flavia D’Urso’s practice grapples with the manifestations of the queer female body, through object and image making; working in video, installation, and sculpture. Throughout her time at Art Produce, D’Urso will be continuing an existing work, I Will Not Carry You, working with vessel forms and intentionally failing modes of reproduction as a means of pushing against expectations of the normalized “ideal” form. Over time the faulty yet persistent reproduction of these objects would fill the space; insistent, bodily, and decidedly deviating from the ideal form deemed to be “of use.”
Open Gallery Hours:
Thursday, April 1st 3-6pm
Friday, April 2nd 3-6pm
Saturday, April 3rd 2-6pm
