From the artist:
Thereโs a space, intangible and hidden.
Between rivets of carpet,
creases in wallpaper,
joints in furniture.
Here, in object-space,
somewhere between here and there,
there are no words, no authorship.
These words donโt belong to me.
And if Iโd sleep,
Iโd dream of a place that doesnโt exist.
And if I lived there, I would be home.

Adios!
!Opening Friday!
Come on out for the last opening of the year! Featuring โAll that Remainsโ a video collaboration by Gunilla Josephson and Lillian Ross-Millard
โAll That Remainsโ parodies a European genre of still life painting, the vanitas, a serious expression of the artist's own mortality and the ephemeral. This particular "still life" is not so still or serious. A Master and her Assistant at work (at play) subvert the logic of Dutch Golden Age painting in the context of contemporary materiality.
Ta-ta!
***Upcoming***
Opening Friday, October 7th โWater Babiesโ ft. Gunilla Josephson in collaboration with Lillian Ross Millard
At the micro moment of awakening, induced by a fragmented chord of surf music in the ear shell, the little goddess water babies experience the instantaneous delirious hyper-augmented journey flowing from the iris on the digitized splashes of the great wave, interrupted by the super egoโs knowing wink.
Catch you later ๐

For a month we call SPACEMAKERII our home, and it is here we enunciate in the voice of The Channellerโ one who takes the middle path between total reception of environmental energy and the production of internal power. This arrangement ruminates on dwellingโs intuitive moments be it through plumbing the depths of the bodyโs internal landscapes, navigating the grief architecture of the avant-city, or reconciling with the possibility of non-human afterlife.
Thank you everyone for pulling together this lovely show, and I canโt wait to see you all Friday!
