Launch: Everything But The Work
“Started in 2024 by Ashley Diane Saldana and Karly Jean Kainz, Everything But The Work is a project focused on unveiling the everyday ideas that are behind one’s practice. With individual practices that are greatly informed by their everyday life, Saldana and Kainz created a platform that asks artists to dig deeper into the subtleties of the mundane, through their surroundings and routines.
After seeing numerous platforms and sites that heavily focused on the end results of one’s work, both Saldana and Kainz saw an opportunity and asked, “How could we show someone’s practice without actually showing their work?” Existing solely on Instagram (for now!) Everything But The Work is an ongoing project of exploration and vulnerability allowing artists to share insights into their practice, but never their work.”
