Long March Space
Long March Space is pleased to announce its first exhibition of 2017 in the Year of the Rooster, “Marching in Circles”, curated by Robin Peckham. The exhibition looks to offer an imagined alternative to the rapidly increasing consumerist culture that exists in the (art) world where the members of the global (art) economy, in one way or another, can be seen as culprits.
The fabrication of art is, like everything else, an endless series of oil spills over the landscape. There is an ecology of production and consumption that cannot be avoided in the spirit of contemporary art. This is the status quo. One must recognize and engage with the current state of reality in order to move forward. There remains a sense of texture in repetition; it is not yet a smooth and frictionless circulation of capital. We are in search of a pleasure, or at least a productive friction, that might be derived from this endless movement without movement. Within this professionalized career path, we ask ourselves what functions unexpectedly, and what might offer fertile ground on which to grow ideas that will propel us forward.
