Igshaan Adams: Desire Lines commemorates the South African artist’s first major solo exhibition in the United States. Adams seeds the literal and metaphorical meanings of desire lines in a striking arrangement of over twenty projects dating from 2014 to the present, proposing that individual acts of convenien​ce and transgression foreground collective sites of beauty, visibility, and agency. The exhibition “Igshaan Adams: Desire Lines” is on view at @artinstitutechi through August 1, 2022. Find the catalogue at the link in bio.
