ILY2 presents California, a solo exhibition of works by Ido Radon, is on view February 17 through March 30, 2024. The exhibition will feature new sculpture, video, and photographs. There will be an opening reception on February 17 from 4:00 - 6:00pm.

Radon’s practice grapples with abstractions that structure the social real even as they remain nearly impossible to figure. Within this dystopian real, Radon nurtures an undead utopian impulse, and recent works focus in on technologies and infrastructures (hard and soft) that mediate contemporary life. Radon’s practice is hyper-aware of the material conditions of the production of art and reproduction of the artist. These concerns are necessarily feminist.

In 2023, Radon was a finalist for the Seattle Art Museum Betty Bowen Award and was selected for a Mass MOCA Residency Fellowship. Radon has made solo exhibitions at Artspeak (Vancouver, B.C), Air de Paris (Paris), Ditch Projects (Springfield, OR), Et al. (San Francisco), Jupiter Woods (London), Pied-à-terre (San Francisco), Romance (Pittsburgh), and Veronica (Seattle) and shown work at Canton Sardine (Vancouver, BC), Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, RONGWRONG, the Belkin Art Gallery, and the Henry Art Gallery. An autodidact, she holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia. With family and friends, she makes SOCIETY.
