The Cut and the Crumb

The Cut and the Crumb curated by Brittany De Nigris and Adam Milner brings together artworks that construct a way of defamiliarizing our general sense of everyday objects. As the title suggests, the objects in the show were cut or torn apart from the original conditions, and the functions and meanings that used to circulate on the surface of things have gone.

Treatise on Rhythm, Color, and Birdsong : the Lexicon

Treatise on Rhythm, Color, and Birdsong - Part II

Contemporary art comes from a range of fields of study that encourage opportunities to work in cross-disciplinary ways. Drawing inspiration from music, dance, science—including physics and biology, philosophy, literature, engineering, etc., these fields explore how different forms of knowledge meet at the heart of the active practice of reimagining the world [1].

Treatise on Rhythm, Color, and Birdsong - Part I

The present retroactively creates its necessity from the past, because the past belongs to the present’s constant reconstitution and reinterpretation in search of meanings.

Thing Thinks

We think, feel, and speak. Does an object also think, feel, speak, and voice its will ? This article looks at a group of philosophers who have suggested the existence of an object world through the non-anthropocentric lens beyond human comprehensions.

Accompanying Our Own Past

There is something in your work suggestive of a past as big as – bigger than – a future, a past that appears solid but is constantly being remade by your practice. We see in it a propensity to go with and attend the thoughts and works of your friends and artistic forbears. Whether in conversation with a contemporary or historical subject, your work calls to question just who is accompanying whom. [2]
