SUMMARY:CoCo Haze at Gallery RAG
DESCRIPTION:COCO HAZE RESIDENCY\nIMPROVISATIONAL\, IMMERSIVE INSTALLATIONs\n\nJoin us for the beginning of the CoCo Haze Residency during the month of July.\n\nCoCo Haze is not a single person but a collective identity—an experiment in dissolving the boundaries of authorship. Initiated by Deborah Read and Tracy Haze\, CoCo expands to include other artists\, writers\, and participants as the work unfolds. CoCo is porous\, flexible\, and alive.\nOn opening night\, Tracy and Deb will begin the first iteration of CoCo for the month\, working live in the gallery—installing\, improvising\, and making art in real time. The audience is invited to witness the process as it happens.\n\nThis is not an unveiling but an activation.\n\nThe environment created that evening becomes the stage for the rest of the month—a living installation where artists\, poets\, writers\, and visitors are invited to enter\, respond\, and participate. Nothing is fixed in advance. The work grows through encounter.\nCoCo Haze is less a name than a field of relations—an ongoing practice of making and unmaking the self together.
