Locust Projects presents HOW TO: Oh, look at me, a new site-specific installation by Miami and Berlin-based artist GeoVanna Gonzalez.

HOW TO: Oh, look at me deepens Gonzalez’s commitment to creating provocative, participatory social spaces within institutional settings. As acts of queer infiltration, class—aware interventionism, her work wants us to see and explore, to dance and read—out loud the potential of our embodied cognition. We are only when we interact, when we commune. 

GeoVanna Gonzalez’s exhibition, HOW TO: Oh, look at me, is currently on view at Locust Projects Wed-Sat 11am-5pm through May 22. In conjunction with this exhibition, the artist is working on a new video commission featuring Cheina Ramos and Alondra Balbuena , Arsimmer McCoy , Zaina Alsous and ⁠N. Miglis. The video, commissioned by Locust Projects, in partnership with the Miami Light Project, will premiere to the public at New World Symphony’s SoundScape Park from 6-9pm on April 15 as part of “CultureCrawl” and “PoetryMonth”. ⁠

open to the public on March 6-May 22nd 2021, from 11am-5pm by appointment, admission is free. 

GeoVanna Gonzalez: HOW TO: Oh, look at me is made possible, in part, with support from Oolite Arts, Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator, and Pulp Arts Recording & Production Studio.

Major support for 2020-2021 exhibitions provided by Knight Foundation, Warhol Foundation, Miami Dade Cultural Affairs, VIA Art Fund, Wagner Foundation, National Endowment of the Arts.

The installation functions as the fifth iteration of the artist’s ongoing HOW TO series, in which Gonzalez creates works of art to accompany poems featured in the online open-source poetry collection tutorials by Martin Jackson at www.tutorials.fyi. Written and shared in cloud-based Google Docs, readers are invited to comment and edit the poems, creating a constantly-evolving, shifting collection of poetry that is never static or complete.
