David Horvitz’s participatory installation, Change The Names of the Day (based on his book of the same name), will be on view in the ICA starting on March 6, 2026, as part of the upcoming exhibition, Everyday Is All There Is.
David Horvitz was born in Los Angeles, where he still lives and works. He studied at the University of California and at Waseda University in Tokyo. He also obtained an MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in 2010. Eschewing categorization, his expansive, nomadic body of work traverses the forms of photographs, artist books, performances, the Internet, mail art, sound, rubber stamps, gastronomy, and natural environments.
