Calista Lyon: An Intimacy of Strangers
“…the sensuous moment of knowing includes yielding and mirroring of the knower in the unknown…”1
In this moment of haunted ecologies and unreachable futures what are the relations taking place within and around bodies? How are non-human bodies in the present shaped by ghosts of the past? Ghosts being “the traces of more-than-human histories through which ecologies are made and unmade.”2 What are the implications for understanding how we are together? How might we work toward decentering the human while attempting to learn across species?
Lyon shares an arrangement of works building on and influenced by an Australian native orchid collection created by self-described recluse and amateur botanist, Philip John Branwhite; her research also draws on the essay Involutionary Momentum by feminist science study scholars Carla Hustak and Natasha Myers.
1. Mimesis and Alterity: A Particular History of the Senses, Michael Taussig
2. Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Nils Bubandt, Elaine Gan, Heather Anne Swanson
Jared Weiss: Seances for Dead Cowboys
Weiss is interested in spaces where repression can become a means of production. He constructs memories that never happened with people that perform on a type of stage, acting.
Work is for sale and priced as marked. The price of the work includes ROY’s 35% commission which is invested back into the gallery supporting emerging artists.
