Contracommon is proud to present ***Inventory-ing***, a multimedia group exhibition thematically organized around the concepts of archives and the storing or sharing of information. On view in the gallery from **August 23rd through September 21st, 2024**, the exhibition will open with a reception on **August 24th from 4–7pm**, including a discussion with the artists. In addition, The Gallery ATX will be hosting a Zine Fest on Saturday, **September 21st from 12–6pm**, alongside a closing celebration for the exhibition.
Curated by Austin-based new media artist Sara Aleyce Roma, ***Inventory-ing*** features artists whose works revolve around ephemera, collection, and mementos, but are explored through divergent mediums and practices.
