Exposition

Sticky currents: Drawing folds in serial exhaustion (2015)

Nicole De Brabandere
open exposition

About this exposition

The affective qualities of surfaces (and the skin) in drawing operations, wedging clay, and video are developed in this research exposition by activating them with both the concept and the practice of exhaustion in emergent series. The practical and conceptual framework emerges along side Deleuze's 'The Fold', Deleuze and Guattari's concepts of the 'smooth' and the 'striated', and Stefano Harney and Fred Moten's 'The Undercommons'. The images, videos, poetics, and concepts of the exhibition develop folding textures and generate charged affective worlds with the force to modulate habits and attunements. As these emergent worldings intensify an emergent corporeal, they also activate a research process that continually folds over and across itself, opening up to new affects, concepts, and subjectivities. Folds exhaust themselves in the multiple, unspeakable midst, until the gentle vibration sparks a current and starts to resonate the fine hairs on the surface of the skin so that they again become sticky.

This investigation brings together theoretically complex writing with useful physical investigations. The latter provide a rich commmunication of the physical attributes of material studies. Pennina Barnett's 1999 catalogue essay "folds, fragments, surfaces: towards a poetics of cloth" may provide useful additional reading for those interested in the material fold.
