#luckywelivehawaii :: Kasey Lou Lindley

Curated by Danny Olda

January 9 - February 19, 2016

An exhibition featuring new artwork comprising an ongoing project by the Honolulu-based artist Kasey Lou Lindley. By subverting the popular Instagram hashtag #luckywelivehawaii, Lindley explores the recesses between her new home in Oahu and the island’s self-representation on social media. Like many other hashtags, #luckywelivehawaii is dominated by images with variations on a familiar theme: idyllic landscapes and people. Lindley’s work reinserts some of the Islands’ nuances, challenges, subjects and locales into a hashtag that largely ignores them.

Kasey Lou Lindley is an interdisciplinary artist currently working in Honolulu, Hawaii. She attended the New York Studio Residency Program, earned her BFA from the Ringling College of Art and Design and her MFA from the University of Connecticut. Lindley’s artwork has been exhibited in New York City, Boston, Salt Lake City, India, Germany, Turkey, and Croatia.
