Oct 12 - Nov 16, 2024Curator Statement
The Meridian is a passage between us, one we cannot see. We only have our sense of it. Who we were and who we will be on each side of it is something we cannot know. But on the Meridian we are hyper-sensitive, empathetic and attuned to the material and bodies near us- adopting each others’ traits and reflecting each other’s desires, without language, without certainty. Only doubt is left, as a posture that realigns us to each other. And in this sensitivity, is admiration, an artists’ artist show, of desire and who we all can vouch for as those willing to keep the meridian vibrant, alive, and who we believe will protect it from being known.
