SQUID INK (Form as an Escape Hatch) & (Form as Provocation) Twin impulses: Simultaneous Self-Realization and Self-Erasure ///Habits of the eye, movement in the gut\\\ (A. Martin: Every animal you meet is hungry) - Every animal pursues intoxication. Squid ink as the bluing heat of incandescence vis-à-vis form that is both noumenal and phenomenal. To impel oneself forward through a febrile and determined state of remaking. What happens when a form can barely contain itself within a stable form? The central tension between the form of being caught and the potential form of escape. Works exist as beacons, summoning aliens to planet Earth, sending out signals in the hopes the right ears will pick them up. The imaginary droning of the beep beep beep into the ether.* The pure black space expresses as volume of water for the squid. The ink is an embodiment of the beeps (a transmission/the signal and the temporal facsimile) All fixed forms, when they have dynamism and energy, seem like they want to transcend their fixity.** Limits appear as multiple unfolding thresholds. *Blair Hansen/ **Dana Goodyear Romer Young Gallery is proud to present “Squid Ink,” an exhibition of new work by New York-based artists Rosy Keyser and Brie Ruais. There will be an opening reception for the artists Thursday, January 12th, 4-8pm.
