Gated Snare finds its tone in the ambient regression of the current American moment. As appeals to remake bygone days trap us in recursive loops, we witness the distorting effects of time on our stored memories–compressed, edited, and overwritten data that gradually calcify into implausible totems. If memory makes experience into collage, then attempts to resuscitate memory anew are invitations to heavier, glitchier constructions.II The Pit is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition in The Pit 2 gallery space by Jim Drain. The exhibition consists of two sculptures incorporating Drain’s signature use of textiles as means for creating forms, as well as a wall mural painted by the artist.
