As the current Artist-in-ATHICA, local multimedia artist Mickey Oscar Boyd has spent his in-gallery residency developing an installation entitled “The Vernacular of Placeless Architecture; or, Stairs and Portals to the Same Place.” In his body of artistic expression, Boyd explores the architecture of abstraction and contemporary form of various everyday structures. He uses the materials of residential structures to create art, such as dimensional lumber, drywall, insulation, found doors and windows. He uses these materials to express the dullness of structural details within a market driven society. The reception will see Boyd answering questions and walking attendees through his artistic process. Boyd’s installation will remain on display during regular gallery hours until Oct. 1.
