Spit It Out

The phrase ‘spit it out’ is a direction and a command, usually born out of frustration. It is in the split second between the command and the action that triggers the motion to spit out what was planned to be swallowed. This regurgitation provides a context to the object, something to be negotiated, slippery in where it exists and where its’ purpose lies. Harry Hurlock, Yorgos Karras, and Paige Silverman’s practices converge in this chaotic distillation of regurgitation. Each artist is presenting the slippage of reconstituted objects; Hurlock through painting, Karras through sculpture, and Silverman through video. Through reconstituting objects, each artist explores the instability of perception and orientation in an era of eroding trust in digital reproduction, appropriation of political language and the willingness and unwillingness to consume what we are told.
