Syndrome 1st July at Whatiftheworld
Monday, June 01, 2009
A syndrome is a pattern of several recognizable features, signs, symptoms, phenomena or characteristics that often occur together, so that the presence of one feature suggests the presence of the others. The title points to a nexus of related concerns for both Maggs and Sloon: conspiracism, terror, the projection of identity, iconography of power and acceleration manifest in popular, media and Internet culture. Rather than being a mere reflection of these concerns, Syndrome is instead fueled by their materialisations in everyday life, in history and in media narratives.
While there exists a commonality of concerns, both Maggs and Sloon employ different strategies, means and modes of production. The bodies of work are connected by the dialogues they suggest more than they are by their relative aspects.
