๐‘€๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘œ๐“‡ ๐ป๐’ถ๐“‡๐“‚๐‘œ๐“ƒ๐’พ๐‘’๐“ˆ is a group exhibition with Laila Majid, Joseph J. Greer, and Anastasia Sif Karkazis, curated by Misael Josรฉ Oquendo. contends with the undoing of teleology across sculpture, installation, and sound. Here, teleology refers to the assumption that systems resolve, that objects fulfill their function, that meaning coheres into closure. In this exhibition, vibration strains toward contact without settling, fragments gesture toward recognition while refusing it, and voices flicker between confession and absence.

Together these works intersect in a register of suspension: gestures that lure without delivering, that parody function while mourning its promise, that transform intimacy into distance. Rather than offering narrative coherence or resolution, the exhibition sustains a poetics of arrested innovation: fragments that cohere provisionally, relations that strain toward harmony without cadence.
