A former telecommunications room, ECHO-ECHO is grounded by ideals of communication and connection, history and legacy, as well as joy and rapport. It is an invitation to artists and our community/ies to be in conversation, and hopefully, will become a reason for it.
ECHO-ECHO is self-funded for a limited number of month-long exhibitions, offering CARFAC exhibition fees (see A.1.1.1 Single work/Small sites Category 1), and inviting artists of different generations, mediums, and experience, to present new, old, or re-considered works. Exhibitions of archival materials will be presented between artists’ exhibitions to emphasize ECHO-ECHO as repetition and reverberation, continuous with past, present, and future community practices.
Thanks to Brady Ciel Marks and Mark Timmings, ECHO-ECHO shares a birthday with Earth Day.
