ABOUT
IchikawaEdward (ie.) is a multidisciplinary cultural exchange which was established in 2017 namely between Ichikawa Lee and Joshua Edward as a way of spatially negotiating the common frictions that queer/othered/disabled bodies experience in today’s “architectures.” Since its inception, the shared practice has grown and shifted in place, body and praxis. At its very core ie. has always prioritised creative collaboration. They engage and work with artists of varying disciplines and backgrounds to allow for a reinforced investigation into specific expertise. The expanded practice has produced material outcomes in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, New York and Berlin. Works are typically realised spatially through sculpture, installation and performance.
