Glist!
@ Andrew Rafacz Gallery
835 W Washington Blvd, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Saturday, February 18th, from 6PM - 7PM
GLIST! is a temporary band of others, performing shopping lists culled from social networks. GLIST! will take place February 18th during – and anchored in response to – Latham Zearfoss’s solo exhibition, INTENTS & PURPOSES. By invoking and (literally) amplifying the mundane livelihoods of everyday citizens, this performance aims to elevate the mechanisms of daily survival by (marginal) folks in a hostile, hypercapitalist and individualistic moment. Using banal, and personal but seemingly apolitical source material, GLIST! tacitly subverts the archetypes of economic individualism and self-interest, key themes in this year’s election cycle. As we who move in targeted, hyperlegislated bodies now scramble to assemble our best defenses for the impending shift to the (alt-)right, GLIST! offers a moment of beautiful discordance, lovingly borne of difference and noise.
GLIST! is Anna Martine Whitehead, Cassidy Slaughter-Mason, Cathy Hsiao, Claire Arctander, Cordett Newsome, Jacquelyn Carmen Guerrero, Darling Shear, Jen Delos Reyes, Latham Zearfoss and Whit Forrester.
