What would it be to account for a betweenness without only defining its equalized limits, without reducing asymmetrical doubles and (two)folds to the symmetry of binaries and dichotomies? Couples without clean-cut complements. (After all, there’s already a 3 in a 2: a third part that parts, partitions.)
Picture a hollow cylinder or a torus: an AC duct: a limit and a void, a limen and a lumen: what look like distinct kinds or parts might be different phases of the same entity, or a continuous transformation that only appears static when I have to see it (like the blades of a moving fan). Stillness and drift: what would it be to work with both at the same time, with limits (lines) and lacks? What would it be to work with betweenness as this interstitial, primordial process of producing distance and difference without reducing it to a null, blinking instant of forgetting? (And without reducing it to some kind of mystical fluid—without falling with its vertigo.) To work with a betweenness as a medium and material—a substrate or substance—as well as a moment and a movement. As a space, a time, an un/consciousness, an event—a timing (and a place). (And as a language.)
Initially (and ultimately), the exhibition keeps asking about the status of a between as a paradoxical place that structures a variety of relations: physical, psychical, structural, social, (al)chemical, political, spatial, temporal, historical.... Basically, what does it mean for something or someone to be “between” (rather than decidedly occurring on any particular ‘side’)? Where is between? What takes-place in-between (and what’s out-between)?
