Scott Cowan and Paul Cowan: Existence Value
@ Roots & Culture
1034 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Friday, October 15th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, November 13th
Existence Value investigates the intrinsic value people and cultures give to things—how people with different understandings of the same sign can assume to agree according to the meaning that a sign has in their own life. We have options, an infinite amount of them, which we must see as wide-open variables to use or to deny. Every decision made is made with intention. It isn’t about being “right” or “wrong,” but rather the sequence of events and how they add up.
In Existence Value, a gesture precedes all considerations and assumptions, rendering immediate perception obtuse. These objects, losing all subjectivity; question their own role (real or imaginary) and the artist’s desire to create and be present in the work.
