Poetics & politics of聽maintenance: Show me you are not the light I called to but the darkness behind it.
fluent is pleased to present Poetics & politics of maintenance: Show me you are not the light I called to, but the darkness behind it, a group exhibition featuring works by Jack O'Brien, Est茅fana Rom谩n Matesanz and Will Sheridan Jr.
The undertitle of this exhibition takes its name from a verse in Rose, a poem by Louise Gl眉ck in which belonging and identity struggle at light, longing for a darker, freer regime. Maintenance has often been seen as this darker, back鈥搒taged dimension where the conditions for life to take place, are proccured. This exhibition dismantles such distinction, one that cuts across light and darkness, focusing on maintenance as a site that calls for time, dedication, closeness and attention, in which organic and inorganic bodies establish an intimate reciprocity.
All the works in Poetics & politics of maintenance emerge from this field of structural sensuality: tightness, overlaps, cuts and frictions do not operate as inert services 鈥攁s in the social language of usership and consumerism鈥�, but as a complex set of affinities: this of moving and being moved.
