“We are in the epoch of simultaneity: we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed.”

Michel Foucault, OF OTHER SPACES

Georgina Lewis and Marcel Marcel present an experiment over time; using a two person show to create a speculative model for an ecosystem that is a specifically an anti-solo show - antithetical to the revered solo show within the hallowed white cube. The artists will draw on the Piano Craft Gallery’s subterranean site to make a cave of sorts, a queered, neurodivergent sensorial reintepretation of Plato’s famed allegorical space. 

The show is a conceptually provocative experiment splaying a set of conditions, a gathering of the artists’ practices, a mashup of the shiny and the abject. Plato’s Cave + Joann’s Fabrics + sci-fi. Works presented and re-presented will be inspired by biological forms (pine cones, ice caves, salt caves) as well as actual biological forms (mushrooms, SCOBYs) along with other organic and non-organic materials. In this mini heterotopia, we anticipate an alchemical transformation, an upending of the status quo, a political critique–an unraveling of logic.
