PAST HAPPENINGS

JOSHUA MCGARVEY
THE KEY
A Dual Practice Exhibition by Joshua McGarvey at TELL
December 13–31, 2024 | TELL Space, St. Paul
TELL Space unveiled The Key on December 13, 2024—a multifaceted exhibition celebrating the creative duality of Minneapolis-based artist Joshua McGarvey.
The exhibition showcased McGarvey’s dynamic intersection of conceptual art and functional design. As a visual artist, McGarvey explored themes of transformation and sustainability, most notably through a limited-edition handbag collection crafted from recycled green screen fabric originally used in his Posturing exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. These ten one-of-a-kind bags challenged traditional ideas around waste, material value, and reinvention.
Also featured were works under Uselding Fridays, the artist’s ongoing brand that designs clothing, bags, and objects with a focus on repurposed materials and thoughtful construction. Visitors experienced a curated selection of reworked secondhand garments, alongside sculptural works and video installations that further expanded McGarvey’s multidisciplinary voice.
The Key opened with a private launch event on December 13, followed by public viewings by appointment through the end of the month.
