Residency Unlimited, New York, 2015

FLUID PHOSPHORESCENCE was a one evening exhibition; a momentary flash, lighting up ideas and actions of collective ecstasy, shared desire, and orgasmic energies. The evening touched upon bodily enlightenment, sex magic, the function of the orgasm and its potential as a tool for collective consciousness and social change.

The exhibition consisted of installations and performances, which through ideas of chemistry, masturbation, seduction, drugs or orgasms, flirted with notions of worship, while balancing between elucidation and domination.

FLUID PHOSPHORESCENCE was curated by Mette Kjærgaard Præst in conjunction with OCEANS BREATHE SALTY  curated by Mette Woller. The two exhibitions are part of an ongoing examination of love focusing on disparate notions of the phenomena from the Stendhal Syndrome to the T. gondii parasite, while considering love, desire and obsession as forces of both empowering and destructive nature. The first exhibition in the series – Flirting, playing, eating, drinking, talking, laughing – took place at Kunstraum, London in 2014.

 

The exhibition was supported by The Danish Art Foundation and Grosserer LF Foght Fond.
