Mo Costello: Forming sounds with my mouth to approximate something that’s like a flood

February 6 – April 26, 2025

Comprising a permanent accessibility intervention in our building’s architecture alongside a small selection of new photographs, the exhibition is “a song, a prayer, an incantation,” which centers our impulse to gather through both symbolic and utilitarian forms.

Mo Costello (b. 1989) is an artist and educator drawn to the social life of objects. Costello’s working practice revolves around the maintenance of small-scale, community-supported infrastructure for the visual and performing arts. Curatorial and studio-based efforts emerge – and often converge – from within this ongoing commitment to place-based inquiry and infrastructures of care. A recent recipient of residencies from Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2022), Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (2024) and Denniston Hill (2024), Mo lives in Athens, GA.
