Part of U:L:O: curatorial program

July 5 – July 28, 2019

The first image I see when I wake up

Kim Kardashian falling asleep
in the water on ecstasy

suspended by buoys
Pills for sleeping while waking
O god of the stagnant water
I’m a spiritual kindergartener
I confess
I’ve learned to worship the lies
you’ve loved the best
My dewy other self in an
abundant orange grove
I wrote…
What I meant was…
I’m relaxing into my decay
in chemical colors
A toxic miasma glides
up the coast
masked finfoots and sooty albatross
meadows unmurmuring
Green marzipan raspberry jam
garish insects glisten in my palm
Making afterlife notes for my ancestors
I tear me to slivers
then bring them back to life

-Zoe Brezsny

Sinkhole Project, Baltimore MD – Sinkhole Project is a curatorial exercise by Joe W. Speier which treats a fence in Baltimore, MD (and sometimes elsewhere) as a physical pintrest board for works of art.

U:L:O: is a curatorial program that invites three curators over a four week period to organize a show in one of the three spaces at Interstate Projects, Upper(U:), Lower(L:), and Outside(O:). 2019 participating curators include: Museum Gallery (New York), Calaboose (Montreal), Sinkhole Project (Baltimore).
