unstable objects examines sculptural forms that undertake peculiar affiliations between structure and ambiguity, transforming (dis)figured objects into questionable bodies of inquiry. As the attention to materiality itself is never divorced from racial hierarchies, the exhibition investigates trespassed boundaries between body/object, form/content, and visual/haptic as more than simply pressing against sculptural mandates. These unstable objects prompt counter-intuitive practices of looking askance, imagining sound, and feeling space that reflect on the presumed stability of The Body while revealing the formal as deeply social.
