This exhibition is all about repetition and failure, about the Sisyphean trial and error that constitutes both the universal experience of performing adulthood and a life consecrated to art making: the risks and triumphs, the shame and the assurance, the impostor syndrome versus the main character syndrome. The artworks here give form to the artist’s corpus and to his own identity and vice versa, they’re entwined, refections of each other, duplicates in a series of objects intimately linked, unfolding in the space in ‘mo- ments’ intended to emphasize what binds them: artifce—the fction of ourselves that overfows into art, and the simulations of art that overwhelm and alienate us from frst contact.
The exhibition fnds the artist in a completely new condition, as unstable as it is stimulating, a place of undisciplined pictorial representation, a friend of failure, anguish and anxiety; of the endless repetition of trial and error that constitutes both the universal experience of the performance of adulthood and the most intimate feelings of the most unique psyche. The recursive staging of a multiple self: the mimesis of artifce, suffering under the spotlight.
