Sean Connelly

Sean Connelly is an artist and spatial practitioner from Hawaiʻi working across contemporary art, spatial practice and civic engagement. His practice integrates sculpture, moving image, cartography and site-based intervention to examine relationships between land, water, architecture and power. Grounded in archipelagic and oceanic ways of knowing, it treats place as an interconnected familial, ecological, cultural and political system rather than a fixed site, and his sculptural and moving-image works test how materials, maps and architectures can register historical erasure, environmental transformation and alternative futures. Extending his inquiry beyond the exhibition, he develops long-term projects through his civic practice After Oceanic and the grassroots nonprofit Hawaiʻi Nonlinear. His work appears in "Flesh Witness" at REDCAT in Los Angeles.
