Dalé Zine presents “Total Oblivion’’ a solo presentation by Miami-based artist Autumn Casey. Opening Saturday, October 8th, 4-8pm at 7395 NW Miami Place. Miami, Fl 33155
Total Oblivion refers to a state of mind that is reached during the creative process. A sense of being on autopilot where intuitive answers are revealed. The apex of when a body, mind and spirit infuse with the materials at hand to reach higher states of becoming.
Autumn Casey, born in West Palm Beach, Florida, is an artist whose work revolves around objects—the stories they tell and the characters they become. Her shapeshifting practice includes sculpture, video, performance, music, and poetry. Inspired by maintenance art and the borders between trash and coveted commodities, Casey draws from personal history, pop and underground culture. Her work channels the beauty found in memories, exploring the function of nostalgia. In 2019, Casey started designing sculptural lights, inspired equally by Tiffany and thrift store finds, pushing her use of camp and kitsch into one-of-a-kind, functional artworks. Casey’s work has been shown at the Peréz Art Museum, Miami; Vox Populi, Philadelphia, PA; and in many other venues. She’s completed residencies at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado and La Sierra Artist Residency in Santa Marta, Colombia. In 2022, she received a public art commission for MoCA, North Miami, to create a pair of sculptures modeled on her parents (but imagined as swans). Casey lives and works in Miami, Florida.
