Under the name Empress Of, Honduran-American songwriter, musician and producer Lorely Rodriguez creates introspective, self-empowering pop music centered around her impressive, acrobatic vocals. For Your Consideration, a follow-up to 2020’s I’m Your Empress Of and 2022’s Save Me EP, is a bi-lingual album that embraces camp and fantasy playing with the idea of Hollywood. The songs, which veer between English and Spanish, reflect on the transactional nature of love and sex, which is mirrored by the ephemeral sense of existence in the entertainment industry. Empress Of has collaborated with Top 40 pop artists and cultural icons such as Khalid, Blood Orange, Lewis OfMan, DJ legend Boyz Noise, ShyGirl and Salute. She's toured with the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Lizzo, Maggie Rogers, Rina Sawayama and wowed audiences at festivals such as Outside Lands and Corona Capital. Her "For Your Consideration" headline tour begins in September of 2024. Visit: https://www.seetickets.us/event/empress-of/603572 Empress Of on Instagram and Facebook

From the gallery: "What’s most fun for me about running Ice Gallery is getting to see the myriad ways each artist interprets the instruction “site specific”. I have yet again been surprised by the way in which the new installation “Lancea” by Kline Swonger has capitalized on a never before used aspect of the space. Over the last few weeks Kline has engaged in a thoughtful meticulous process to bring us an installation that is both subtle and intricate. We hope to see you at the opening on Saturday June 22 from 3-6 p.m. If you can’t make the opening, the gallery will be open by appointment HERE Tuesday – Saturday 11-4 p.m." — Michael James Armstrong, ICE Gallery Related links: ICE Gallery website Kline Swonger website | Instagram Appointment link
