ICOSA Collective in Austin and Throughline Collective in Houston have announced an exhibition exchange that will take place in fall 2024 and 2025.
Since 2017, ICOSA has engaged in exchanges with other artist-run art spaces locally and nationally. The first project was with Tiger Strikes Asteroid LA and Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles. Other exchanges were with Rosalux Gallery in Minneapolis (2019), Clamp Light Studios in San Antonio (2021), and Antenna in New Orleans (2022).
ICOSA Collective has selected Mueni Rudd, a Houston-based Kenyan American independent curator, cultural preservationist, and scholar, to curate the Throughline exhibition, which will be hosted at ICOSA this fall. Straight Like That, on view from August 17 through September 14, showcases Throughline artists and incorporates themes of authenticity and innovation.
In August 2025, Throughline Collective will select a curator to organize an exhibition featuring ICOSA Collective artists and hosted at Throughline in Houston. Learn more about both ICOSA and Throughline and their upcoming exhibitions via their websites.
