As you read this, someone is curating their bedside table. Someone is curating their lunch. Someone had something terrible happen to them, once, or twice, in childhood. It provokes little scrutiny until it’s placed in the right pile and looks good next to blue - Jessica Baran

The World Is Flat, The World Is Not Flat
Sculpture 2013
4' x 5' x 16"
Plaster, particle board, plywood, flashing, cast rubber, mirror, glass, gesso, ballpoint pen.
The World Is Flat The World Is Not Flat is this small person trying to figure out if it is or isn’t flat, and I like to think back about my child-mind reaction to that fairy tale (Humpty Dumpty). That story is not about someone that tripped and fell. Humpty Dumpty was seated, as this figure is. I always imagined he just felt like “let’s see what happens if I jump” -- to find out if it is or isn’t. The World Is Flat The World Is Not Flat has a similar tension, of preceding an irrecocable event. The moment right before it can’t be undone, can’t be put back, and the kind of shrug I get from a number of the figures in this show as if they are thinking “Well, might as well try....” - Susan Scarlata

The World Is Flat, The World Is Not Flat
By Kat Hodges
Drawing 2013
8" x 11"
Ballpoint pen on lined paper.
Kat made a sketch, a napkin drawing, really, of a memory she had from childhood of seeing her reflection made infinitely between two mirrors while sitting on her bathroom counter. She made a diagram of this experience, the visual disruption between flat and depth, it was a quick description of a spatial conflict and an existential conundrum.

Each of these pieces, blown up beyond their original sizes, demonstrate in surreal-ways how images, sensory details, and patterns lodge themselves within human remembrances and psyches - Susan Scarlata
