Here, Not Here. (ur, not-ur)
A wisp of cold air.
A stroke of terror as you read the news.
A specter brushing past you in the night.
A call or a response.
Bring to mind when some strange force caused your skin to ripple with bumps. Was something within you in conversation with something out there? Perhaps you asked what provoked that force. Was it out here? In there? Do you trust what comes to you via the senses? Perhaps you’re like me—a dualist anxiously attached—and can only dwell in thought of the Real: the unknowable and unintelligible. Or perhaps you’re not like me—a rational, INFJ, Gemini—and you know that a deep, low hum in the ocean is the true cause of all the blue you see in the sky. Please, don’t construe me for a mad person.
Go on.
Say yes and no at the same time.
Let that sensation demonstrate something felt about the world. Let that doubt swerve into an impulse or a detour into this exhibition. It’s Here, Not Here: hovering in the space between total absence and a slight presence.
This exhibition brings together works by Mei Gong, Erika Keck, Siyona Ravi, Mike Richards, Shauna Steinbach, and Martynka Wawrzyniak in the last gallery at the Reef in downtown Los Angeles. Each work registers a note of the synesthetic, playing with one sense while tickling another. Yet if doubt has done its work, why pause over a scent, a color, or a texture? The invitation isn’t to correct the senses, returning the body to a singular stability, nor to prove it a mere mirage or illusion. This body is a haunting where the sensual can dwell. You are here. And I am behind you.
