黑料不打烊

Dear Evie and Rory: Thank you so much for your images from the end of the world. Thank you for not frightening us with gloom but with glee. Thanks for being artists who traverse in visions of post-climate trauma. Thanks for this fresh, unapologetic and unsentimental glimpse from the other side. Thanks a lot for what feels more like embrace than distance - not simply a cynical or snarky look from the other side of the climate crisis, but a real sorrow and joy that trips up the clich茅s of aftermath. And thanks for going to the other side to present this to us. It means a lot to us - we really appreciate it.

Thanks, Evie, for the ghostly bones and necklaces that appear and disappear in your paintings. Thanks for addressing extinction through this visual vocabulary and for messing with our understanding of time before and after. Thanks, too, for bringing the ceremonial of the necklace into this empty, bright field of inquiry where objects feel archival, unreal, yet meaningful in some unknown (future?) context. Thanks for reminding us of magic or alchemy in art, at the end, when we鈥檙e not celebrating anything, but studying some other celebration. Thanks for presenting bones, necklaces, fragments of texts, as images that are both here and gone.
