"Qualities of Impossible Means" By Francesca Bennett
Qualities of Impossible Means
By Francesca Bennett
Entrusted with the task of a translation - to paper - of an as-yet-not-exhibited solo exhibition of new works by Tegan Moore: entitled Air Conditioning, to take place this August, in Vancouver, on Main Street, at CSA Space; I must admit at least an uncertainty: how to consider these objects?
(By this, not only: "how to consider these objects?" but also: "how to consider these objects?" and finally: "how to consider these objects?")
It is not yet that-part-of-August.
It is hot, and still imaginary.
How to consider these objects.
(Or: consider these objects.)
Blue, pink, green, yellow, white, grey, green;
faded, spotted, unlined, lined;
bright and dark and pale.
Wadding, wrapping, mesh, net, foam.
Solid, not-solid, soft;
cold, warm, too-hot, room temperature;
low density, high density;
affected.
New, new-ish, used;
in use;
crushed, intact, cut, folded and bent.
Rising.
Glued, stuck, held, cradled, cupped, hung, stacked;
slouching, bending, covering, yielding;
yearning;
smaller, larger, wider, wider, shorter, tall, taller, tallest.
Pretending, posing, being;
blocking, hiding, streaming, letting, obstructing, withholding.
Changing.
Damp, dried, sticky.
In between.
Higher, lower, lower.
Round, not-round, rounded;
around.
Continuous, contiguous, discrete.
Visible, invisible, illusory, questionable;
see-through.
All of the above, some of the above, none of the above.
Other.

How to consider these objects.
(Or: consider these objects.)
In situ:
as sculpture.
As instances, as actions, as illusions.
As: doubles, triples, single multiples; as multiply single.
Singly, together, three or two at a time.
As gesture.
Physically, physiologically, phenomenologically;
historically, intellectually.
(Humorously.)
Archaelogically;
meteorologically;
possibly logically.
With gravity;
and think of other objects.
How to consider these objects.
(Or: consider these objects.)
Tonight:
with refreshment.
Monday afternoon:
refreshed.
Eternally,
or:
later.

And laid him on the green
And laid him on the green September 12-18, 2009. Goonies, Vancouver, BC, Canada
And laid him on the green presents a selection of work from Vancouver artists Mark Dahl, Tegan Moore, and Lauren Scott, examining the manner in which specific objects and scenarios can be made uncertain through vaguely scientific methods and purposefully poetic choices.
