EPIGEAL

(the final show)

On the surface of the ground and under the sky. 

It’s where everything we did, happened. Captured in stories, photographs, souvenirs, and journals. Held hostage in museums. Squirrelled in someone’s attic. Felt in your body. The receipts of our actions. The reminders. 

It’s the site of our entire emotional experience. Where we squeeze each other tightly. Where we do whatever is possible to sooth our boredom. Every side eye, eye roll, and glimpse takes place here. Everything that comforts, excites, and confuses. Everything that we noticed. 

Where we take root and up root. Where spaces, walls, and lines are made. Invitations are extended. Powers are given, upheld, challenged, and resisted. We nurse our wounds. We grow. We break through. 

Learning and unlearning, making and unmaking, ripping it all up and starting again. 

On the surface of the ground and under the sky is our shared situation. Our art practices are the shared language we use to process, observe and explain it. 

There is no theme for this exhibition. 

It is our final one in Unit 2, after 12 incredible months together. It has been an enormous privilege to see your work and hold a space for this strange and beautiful thing we do. 

The EPIGEAL open call therefore invites image, material, object, gesture, records, and works of all kinds, for a show that simply celebrates art making as a ubiquitous component of human experience. 

Feel free to use the text as a jumping off point, or just submit a piece you’re excited about, and let’s see what curatorial conversations we can have.
