Devon Stackonis: Retaining Walls
Tandem Press is pleased to host RETAINING WALLS, a Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition by Devon Stackonis, University of Wisconsin-Madison MFA Candidate and 2023-2024 Tandem Press Curatorial Project Assistant. In RETAINING WALLS, Stackonis presents an artist book installation rooted in ancestral lineage, resource extraction, and inhabitation of the Pennsylvania Coal Region. Echoing the form of 19th-century dental manuscripts, this bound series of etchings addresses the lasting psychological, health, environmental, and socioeconomic impacts of an obsolete industry.
