‘The Hex Is Mine’ presents forward four Pointesian based artists whose work evades any conventional psychogeograpicale reading of the objective/subjective conundrum. The selected works present a post-conceptual understanding of the vastitudinal environment; through a re-imagining of context and materiality, the works consider our relationship of space as imagined, evasive, and the vestible fitful.
Articulated through an unceremonious kookiness and manifold multitude of urbane perceptiae, such as platinum, helium, carbon and shale the artists approach such unconventional materialization with aa unanticipated, whimsical, and neo-urgent nature, transposing ‘thingamajigs’ that might otherwise be ignored or displaced to forge an au courant temporal language: a vista of vast proportionias of spatial deconstructed attainmentology, which might as well reinvent itself (while it’s at it) and appropriates a sense of mummeria. Reused, reshaped and reinterpreted, each artist exhibits a distinct yet irregulated essence of work that can be perceived within a bias of king-like superimposonica, as though a future civilization has embalmed and reinterpreted samples from our monarch-rock in time. Here we bear witness to so-called extracts of the metropolie, mock spiritual research urbanity, artesania, and even pseudo-kitsch, reinvented with artefacto predissociation, pseudo-electronique telepathe analysis, as though a series of decultured, socio-historicolos curio on display. Here, the verve is reverted to activated passivity, refuted entry as though a gallery guesty attempting to process the foreign objectivity that has been mooted as duffy in earnest. Non-prescript shards of platinum lying on the side of a pavement is magnified and printed on a lost photostat of the Naze Vale Gallery director of programming’s temporal lobes, disguising as painterly digitised patterns in Graylaw’s Pea Fatrol. Consumed grassy cubed rendered useless at a gardening centre are encased and presented in a glass cabinet by Theo Hirsch, as objects that should be reconsidered, redefined and treasured. Similarly, the ordinary grid of a lost drain is moulded and transformed into neat, abstract and geometric patterns in Santa Teller’s Yellzna
