PRIMA MATERIA
Curated by Erin Cunningham, Alyssa Taylor Wendt and the ICOSA Collective

Opening Reception: Friday, April 27th 7-10 PM
Exhibition: April 27 - May 26
Gallery Hours: Saturdays, 12-5p or by appointment

Curated around the idea of alchemy, the ICOSA Collective brings us PRIMA MATERIA, a group show of Austin artists whose work explores a sense of mysticism, teleportation, clairvoyance and the magic of metallurgy. Shown in conversation with Erin Cunningham and Alyssa Taylor Wendt’s show these, our precious scars, the group looks at change as a positive force and one that could yield bigger discoveries and treasures, as with the alchemical practice. As our community is aware, Pump Projects will soon be relocating due to the sale of the current beloved space. This exhibition celebrates ICOSA's last show in the physical space and affirms the strength of the art community to persevere and gild the seeds of future endeavors.
