The labyrinthine basement under the snack bar — 



Ido Radon is an artist and writer who grapples with abstractions that structure the social real even as they remain nearly impossible to figure. Recent works focus on technologies and infrastructures (hard and soft) that mediate contemporary life. Radon’s practice is hyper-aware of the material conditions of the production of art and reproduction of the artist. These concerns are necessarily feminist. An autodidact, she holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia. And with family and friends, she makes SOCIETY.

In 2023, Radon was a finalist for the Seattle Art Museum Betty Bowen Award and was selected for a Mass MOCA Residency Fellowship. Radon has made solo exhibitions at Artspeak (Vancouver, B.C), Air de Paris (Paris), Ditch Projects (Springfield, OR), Et al. (San Francisco), ILY2 (Portland), Jupiter Woods (London), Pied-à-terre (San Francisco), Romance (Pittsburgh), and Veronica (Seattle) and shown work at Canton Sardine (Vancouver, BC), Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, RONGWRONG, the Belkin Art Gallery, and the Henry Art Gallery.
