IF THERE IS TENSION
How are we living within the fracture? Where does it reside, and how does it become visible? Written shortly before his death in 1940, Walter Benjamin’s On the Concept of History articulated a view of history that does not proceed through continuity but accumulates through discontinuities; one in which what appears as progress remains inseparable […]
Mother of One
Love here is not a feeling, but a principle — that connects scattered and separate things. Zofia Pałucha paints from photographs — press, film, private, and police — and moves between them without changing her tone. Tenderness coexists here with violence, and personal experience with the story of someone the artist will never meet. She […]
Substrate
Substrate is an underlying base layer, a nourishing and carrying platform, a surface of life that both enables things and gives birth to the new. It is a foundation that serves both as a medium and a site for events. The exhibition unfolds through the concept by exploring different substrates and the exchange between entities. […]

Residency: the wall
The history of one of the walls at S35 Gallery can be read as a “pentimento”, a trace of an earlier version of a painting. It is a past seen through what came after. Even before the gallery was established, several layers of plaster and paint were removed from the walls of the space, revealing […]

Juxtaposing the narratives of Magical Girl and Shōjo manga with the recovery of warrior maidens from Castilian and Charro folklore, the exhibition presents a panoply of fragile body armor. This repertoire of suits of armor, […]
We Have McDonald’s at Home Again
“How do I pitch this to the 800-pound gorillas? Let me attempt: Back for sloppy seconds? Yes, there’s still more McDonald’s to be devoured at home…” My freestyling ended here, so my brain could take another breath to come up with something better. Yu instantly questioned why I was keen on producing a continuation to […]
