"Remote Castration" at LAXART

Do You Hear the Waters Rushing?

“...until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”    Martin Luther King Jr.

Artists: Pamela Sneed, Jahni Moore, Nick Potter, William Raines, Monica Guidry Kelsie, Jason Bulluck, Yanique Norman

Paintings, poetry, performance, found objects, collages on paper, mark-makings, material engagements, digital provocations, writings, and something in between. Through the culminations of these works we see a reality impacted by ideologies immersed in colonialism, racism, imperialism, and yet it is there in the works, between the pages, along the margins, through lives seemingly lost in a reflection of history as in fragments, ruins, and uncertainty thus revealed. Remembering Edouard Glissant’s reminder. The history you ignored-or didn’t make. Was it not history? Only the poets have the ear to the land; only the poets. Through these artists, we hear them speak about the “challenge of the disentangling of the thoughts and ideas” that seem to pad a “heavily subsidized History”.[1]

Do You Hear the Waters Rushing presents seven artists with works of poetic and political dimensions. These works highlight artistic interventions that bring unforeseen ways of thinking from a gaze, and a poetic gesture there is seen a new insight of reality that emerges into un-thought configurations of reality.

Curated by Jamie Nakagawa Boley, this exhibition is sponsored by Clovis Community College in collaboration with William Raines of Corridor 2122.

Show viewings on Thursday, February 6th during Art Hop and Saturday, February 8th from 12-4 PM.

Press Release:

Remote Castration is a group exhibition that reflects on the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements and how they resonate with a trajectory of feminist thought in contemporary art. The exhibition’s title is derived from a piece of graffiti—spotted in L.A. in fall of 2017—that serves as both provocation and barometer for a collective consciousness operating around gender and power today. While marking a paradigm shift in outdated systems of authority, the present outing of sexual misconduct and abuse of power (on a scale and frequency unlike any before) raises important questions around social behavior, sexuality, ethics, truth, desire, repression, language, selfhood, and privilege.

This exhibition will be accompanied by a related series of events this September. Events include the launch of Futura/No Futura, a new collection of 26 broadsheets featuring concrete poetry by women artists, published by LAXART; a lecture on sculpture and reproductive rights by artist and lawyer Ragen Moss; performance by Daniel T. Gaitor-Lomack; and more. Please check back for a full listing.
