Xenopsia

Somewhere in rotation, an opening.

One approaches it with the usual equipment: mass, memory, a nervous system, the conviction that these belong to a person. On the wall, a photograph. Another arrangement of the same materials, with certain permissions withdrawn. Consider the physical world as something to which we have never had unmediated access. Matter persists in excess of its appearances. Each person edits an inhabitable reality from this excess, furnishing it with distances, threats, invitations, appetites, theories of possibility. The environment acquires intentions it does not possess. We live and play inside these interpretations with the foolish confidence of people who have mistaken an atmosphere for an address.

DOG is pleased to present [E26] Xenopsia, an exhibition of large-scale photographs exploring a state in which the physical, perceived, and anticipated briefly coincide, and the body becomes the strangest instrument you own.

Featuring:

Diego Bendezu, João Canziani, Frankie Carino, Brendan Davis, Daniel Dorsa, Kyle Emery-Peck, Jake Forsythe, Mark Mahaney, Boe Marion, Theo McInnes, Teo Giovanni Poggi, Colin Sussingham, Brad Torchia, Alex F Webb



Opening: Friday October 23rd, from 6-9pm 

Location: 428 Waller Street, San Francisco, CA
