B. Ingrid Olson Book Launch
July 8, 2026
Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2156 W. Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612
Join us on July 8th at 6pm to celebrate the release of B. Ingrid Olson's book Cast of Mind, very recently published by Dancing Foxes Press. As part of a yearlong exhibition at i8 Grandi in Reykjavik, Olson continuously reconfigured her artworks within the space in order to test the reciprocity between photography, sculpture and architecture. This became a guiding structure for the book, which models artistic practice as an evolving form. As Olson writes in her introduction: "More closely related to a spiral than a line, the permutations of Cast of Mind do not reach a culmination and instead tangle into a networked maze, composing an abstraction of both exhibition-making and studio processes. * Olson will be joined in conversation with the book's designer, Chad Kloepfer as well as three of the publication's contributing writers, Mariana Fernández, Kate Nesin and Leslie Wilson. MARIANA FERNÁNDEZ is a writer and independent curator who focuses on performance and visual art. Her writings have appeared in Artforum , ArtReview , BOMB , e-flux Criticism , frieze , Momus , and X-TRA Contemporary Art Quarterly , and in various exhibition catalogues.
