all around the silence of the body the paper like the skin of your palm


Emerging from an ongoing conversation across distance and collaboration across place; exploring the nature of the body that isn’t found, but framed by the structures that encode the world around us. Thinking through the inheritance of material and immaterial technologies and structures the exhibition traces the ways in which the weather is and has been a cornerstone of the oppressive empirical and colonial sciences, an embodied presence, one we historically have tried to reify through empirical measurement and built structures. The history of modernity is the history of attempted control of the weather, a notion which increasingly comes back to haunt. Through tensions arising between growth and decay, the tightened structure and the open one, the embodied and the accelerated, the work asks what is left behind in the making of the record.

SITE: CHURCH

MUSE: CONCRETE AND WIRE CAGES

PROTAGONIST: SUN & WIND


Up the hill, legs against the asphalt, and a

breeze strong enough to send autumn leaves

tumbling down at me pushing against my

face.

In winter I see first light crack the top of a

glass arch and gradually fall over church

street.


A crack forms in the pavement under foot, I bend

over and fill it with the concrete I keep in the

boot of my car. A crack in the sidewalk to the

left I write my name in it this time. Someone

asks me if I want to come inside and see the

church. I say I have more cracks to fill outside.
