Pray it No Mind

​

Two Day Pop Up Installation by Guest Resident Seattle Artist Coco Spadoni.
March 16th and 17th, 2017

​

"Pray it No Mind” is a participatory installation by Coco Spadoni that invites the viewer into a space that appropriates catholic rituals and iconography to conceptualize a church where queer lives are the subjects of worship. Spadoni explores a threshold teetering between earnest sacrament and frivolous campiness using installation, manipulated found objects and ceramics. This exhibition investigates how blurred boundaries of rituals, meditation and aesthetics from two (often contradicting) cultures can create a new understanding of healing. We summon you to join us for this service where you will move beyond viewing and guide us through reinterpreting a queering of faith.
