What is the Iao PROJECTS? We are a conceptual art project founded in 2008, a gallery which is featured in a curator's huge office space. Our inspiration is derived from the famed BBC television program "The Office" minus that bad(ass) attitude. The goal is to discover untapped and innovative talent throughout the world which have not had the opportunity to be presented to the public at large.
Also we are a gesture against the grain of the prevailing Utah cultural winds. Typically Salt Lake City is not seen as the harbinger of artistic trends worldwide. So folks, shall we begin then? (quotation from a Haneke film...)
