Root
{a curatorial event by clementines+fingernails}
Root considers a whole much greater than the sum of its parts, a precarious whole achieved by fortune, chance, subtle evocation. An occurrence of elements that, with one defining swoosh, fall for a moment into delicate balance. Tenuous relationships that allow for so much more than the platform they create.
With fluid intent, we toy with the happenstance, investigating structures of relationship, possibilities for future, present, and past. This is or was the moon, the birth of the universe, the playground encounter, the tenure of a marriage of elements, the impermanent. It defines a lifetime, is bigger than we, but like all else, is only temporary.
embrace dynamic flows
unleash adaptive thresholds
fluid equilibria
hybridize ruderal gradients
reclaim heterogeneous surfaces
morph intermodal vocabularies
Opening reception Friday, December 13th, 2013 from 6-10pm. Viewings by appointment Wednesday, Dec.11th through Tuesday, Dec.16th. Please contact clementinesandfingernails@
