Event overview
New Constellations on Repeat is an exhibition and the collectively-organized brainchild of ten masters students in the department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths. The exhibition will feature audio, video, and sculpture by artists Geoff Broad, Marisa Baptista and Nuno Barreiras, Madge Healey, Theresa Himmer, Sally Musleh Jaber, Leonardo Liccini, Ana Reyes and RO/AD (Carey Maxon and Tristam Adams)- from the MA Global Arts, MA Aural & Visual Cultures & MA Contemporary Art Theory programmes.
Tiresias, the blind androgyne, cursed for breaking the copula of serpents, cursed for seeing a naked Hera, could predict the future. Zeus gave him the gift of seeing the unknown. When Dante met him in the fourth realm of hell, Tiresias was damned among the liars and charlatans, condemned to walk forward with his head twisted facing backwards. Upon his apprehension, Dante realized that the future is freed from the lie of being truth.
Cut away the future and the present collapses, emptied of its proper content. The integrity of you NOW bleeds into your future self. Your future is a string of now. Forever now now now now forever always penultimate. Wet blades in the masquerade; pink mutations; lightning waltzes; into the past steps one foot and into the future the other. Is my present duration my future, my past? Eventually all conceptions of time will be anachronistic. New languages will be developed to understand and engage with histories after their reversal. The future is a blank onto which can be projected only fantasies and promises, precisely those things which, by the act of being launched and lost to this void, refuse retrieval and reification. All my actions in the future will be solely a profound impatience with the present.
New Constellations on Repeat will also feature an audio work compiled from the brainstorming meetings hosted by the organizers, Alex Borkowski, Marisa Baptista, Susana Cheng, Sze-yenn Cheong, Marina Georgiou, Madge Healey, Eric Heinonen, Melanie Kress, Leonardo Liccini, and Ana Reyes.
