March 7 - July 27, 2019
“Founding members of the Austin-based Black Mountain Project Adrian Aguilera, Betelhem Makonnen, and Tammie Rubin will debut a new body of work in sculpture, photography, text, and video. This collaborative exhibition, constant escape, provides a sensory experience for resisting absolute definitions of culture and identity. The concept for this exhibition is inspired by text from Fred Moten’s, Black and Blur:
Constant escape is uneasy. It demands the blinking intermittence, the radical flight, of a certain experience of constraint that will have been best understood as sustained, unflinching fantasy, as a look through or
away, listening to and playing over, under. Perhaps constant escape is that which is what we mean when we say freedom.“
