ETA
ETA is an exhibition of works by Mollye Bendell, JLS Gangwisch, and Christopher Kojzar, members of the Baltimore-based collective strikeWare. Curated by VisArts鈥� 2024 Emerging Curator Jordan Horton, the exhibition seeks to address spaces in between and the people who exist there.
The title references the acronym 鈥渆xpected time of arrival,鈥� a phrase derived from the popular concept based on the speed by which a vessel has covered the distance traveled. Online, these spaces are known as liminal, expanding beyond the physical realm to exist in technology through mediums such as buffering webpages and loading pages. Although this method cannot account for unexpected events, it provides a useful estimate for planning purposes. ETA, therefore, represents a journey from point A to B, naive to any sudden disruption or error.
As a collective, strikeWare utilizes multimedia to comment on the lines of human and user experience. While the trio is best known for their site-specific works informed by historical events in the places they show, this exhibition strives to abstract place and spatial relations, querying the concept of the journey over the destination and all that one may encounter in between. For these newly commissioned works, Bendell, Gangwisch, and Kojzar bridge the liminal spaces we subliminally encounter physically and digitally.
