VIRTUE AND THE CITY

June 11-21, 2020
Vijzelgracht 2A
1017 HR Amsterdam

Open Thurs - Sun 1600-2000
and by appointment -

Appearing passive, the cosmopolitan body is permitted to become abstracted and fragmented.
Common definition of ‘virtue’ rests in morality.
What moral standards should it be held to?
What now constitutes a centre, and have perceived shifts been cosmetic or structural?

Presented across spaces in the former Maison Descartes, this presentation holds four contributions which peel away from the temporalities and rhythms of the artist’s existing practice.

Kim Wawer will perform a series of streamed and live interactions with new ceramic sculptures; prostheses that counterweight, and wait between performances. Aaro Murphy will show a kinetic installation that exhales into space, latex exteriors stretching tightly over ‘machine’-like interiors. Kristoffer Zeiner presents an installation centered around a vocalizing resin monolith. Ivan Cheng shows new drawings, and publishes reconfigured performance texts as a murder mystery, to be also stocked at San Serriffe and rile*.

`
All ‘live events’ will be streamed on Instagram Live.
