Humans from this highly politicized geographic space recognize the disappearance of meaning, erasures of citizenships, exiles of people, and the mined landscape as a reality with which one must reckon. \n\nNow, as we doubly resist a global pandemic and the targeted dehumanization of communities based on race, our slowly unfurling existential crisis becomes universally felt. Thus, to reclaim our global contemporary moment, we turn to the resilient practices of artists who have witnessed their worlds collapse. \n\nUsing material culture, as both historical form and laborious process, Bulnygin\u2019s sunflower seed sculptures incorporating Soviet-era furnitures and Demirkoparan\u2019s algorithmically disbursed kilim paintings take the past and hurl it into a future exposing the pure potentiality of our fractured present. \n\nThe intimacy of manual labor in various iterations, including paintings, textiles, or objects generates a new durational relationship to materiality. By capturing the force of labor through material expression, this exhibition works against the volatile relationship with time premised on the frailty of lived experience. Resilience is the primary radical act that  intervenes in social and political history through tenacious endurance. We thus present an arresting display of material that is at once intimately perceptive and rigorously expository.","space":"We require a minimum of 14 by 8 linear meters of wall space within approximately 100 square meters of gallery space in a rectangular hall. We require standard gallery lighting only, and hardware to suspend a life-size raft installation from the ceiling. Three of the walls have mounted paintings, drawings, and mixed-media installations while the floor space includes a series of three free-standing large foam rolls, in addition to smaller scale sculptural works. We have 27 works and seven artists.","artists_proposal":"1. Kamal Ahmad - Kurd (Iraq)\nhttp:\/\/www.pianocraftgallery.com\/kamal-ahmad-2019\/\n\n2.
