Much of the most meaningful work happens long before publication or exhibition. These upcoming projects highlight collaborations, books, exhibitions, and research initiatives currently in development. Like Gavin’s previous work, these exciting projects hope to contribute to ongoing conversations around public discourse and futurisms.
