Chloe Quenum, Weary

Chloé Quenum’s Weary is the first solo exhibition by the artist with the gallery. The show features new productions including video, a group of digital collages and a site specific installation spread on the entire gallery floor hand-drawn by the artist.

“Imagine watching someone dream underwater through Windows 95. In Chloé Quenum’s latest work, a digital avatar – intentionally obsolete, exquisitely weary – drifts through liquid code like a body surrendering to exhaustion. Solange’s ‘Weary’ plays in the background, transforming into something uncanny: pop music submerged in digital undertow, black electronic dreams deconstructed until only their echoes remain. The song’s original meditation on Black exhaustion metamorphoses into pixelated poetry, each distorted note bearing the weight of both cultural and computational fatigue.” [Excerpt from the text by Fernanda Brenner]
