Totems, Sacraments, & Shrines

Totems, Sacraments, & Shrines by D.S. Kinsel, runs from January 4 – February 29 in the IAMB Gallery, 908 Galveston Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15233.

The exhibition (and accompanying book) features photographs documenting Kinsel’s street art practice of creating temporary unsanctioned sculptures/installations of public art in urban settings. Totems, Shrines, & Sacraments by DS Kinsel takes you on a journey to cities such as Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Austin, Houston, Miami, Detroit, Providence, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Mayaguez to experience the beauty of Kinsel’s sculptures first hand. These street installations/sculptures serve as a way for Kinsel to circumvent unjust graffiti laws and provide markers of cultural space keeping in communities.
