February 7: Opening 7pm — 9pm February 8: Gallery Hours 12pm — 5pm with performances by Pastel at 8pm and Erika Kane at 9pm One, Again / Against One is a group show interested in the osculation of being one and many. Oriented towards the processes and conditions that enable relations to be skewed, at times awkward, or not necessarily there, but almost, is the exhibits domain. The title of the show riffs off of Jackie Wang’s Against Innocence, an essay describing the damaging effects of innocence as political rhetoric. Wang tells us innocence individualizes and defaces the facade of a narrative, a condition, a landscape, a history to be easily assimilated – something relatable or universal. One, Again / Against One, looks away with Wang, against the pressures of individualization, to become an isolated singular thing. The works in the show are exercises in failure, adjustment, becoming and unbecoming, even cruising on to be more than one – always many, always in flux.
