Attended the vernissage for Stacks and Queues at City Hall Art Gallery.
A three-person exhibition featuring works by Karina Kraenzle, Andrew Morrow & Cindy Stelmackowich.
About the exhibition:
The digital realm, with all of the terror and delight it has brought into our lives, has accelerated the reality of our fragmentation. It now seems quite impossible to argue for the existence of a true self, located and whole in the flesh and bone of our body. The self is stacked and queued, nipped and tucked, tossed and strewn across our floors, our desks, our drawers, our phones, our email accounts, our cloud storage…
These works are a seductive cut and paste of bodies and selves. The artists lean into the aesthetic of fragmentation that is our contemporary life. While the works did not begin as reflections on the digital, the digital has become so pervasive in the world. Nothing is untouched by computation and its rules, and as they crafted these works, they could see where computation had left its mark.
