“I contend that most people, criminal or otherwise, consciously/subconsciously regard aesthetics as the dominant physical and metaphysical value of existence [...] Only the compensatory delusions of theory attribute moral and ethical values to a patently indifferent universe.” Ian Brady
/+\=X could be described as a nothing that relies on a something. It could also be seen as 8 slashes. It’s not a question of joining the dots.
Seipel (Berlin) and Nerf (Cape Town) have acquired work to fill space; photographs, paintings, sculptures, live performances and things that want to be part of your annals. what you choose to see in the few hours that /+\=X exists is what you get.
On a superficial level /+\=X will provide a cacophony of audio and visual keywords that make one smile and move one’s head. If you choose to dig deeper you will find a bigger hole. Anyhow, there will be a how to, a what the fuck, a cash bar and secure parking behind the building.
"Art doesn't speak unless spoken to." Marlene Dumas
Over 70 works have been selected for /+\=X including stuff by Nobuyoshi Araki, Rubens de Carvahlo, Robert Hodgins, Orlan, Robin Rhode, Nontsikelelo Veleko, Barend de Wet, Juergen Teller, Wolfgang Tillmans, Ed Young, Uwe Jonas, Sophie Brown, Thomas Ruff, Kristofer Pateau, Phillip Raiford Johnson and something special selected by Stacy Hardy
