McLennon brings ATX another taste of bicoastal culture in Richie Shazam’s first solo exhibition in Austin. Shazam is a multihyphenate model, photographer, BFF of Julia Fox, and general NYC “it” girl (evidence: canonically featured in Charli xcx’s music video for “360” at the It Girl Summit). After publishing Shazam, a 2023 book of self-portraits, the iconoclast turns inward to explore trauma and transmute it. In this show comprising seven tableaux, Shazam shapeshifts “like a modern La Castiglione,” reads the exhibition text. “By situating each scene within a different room of the home, Richie completes what is often a final step in trauma therapy – visiting the site of harm.” Opening reception is Friday, March 20. – Lina Fisher
