On the subject of spring:
Some things must be visually soft and physically slow, approaching a state of suspension.
It could be the low roll of a pink ocean, a perfectly balanced breeze, or fingertips gliding
across the short hairs of your neck.Visits consist of lying on your back in the thick, plush green, watching the clouds go by.
Movements are like slow steps to a fast song, shuffling across the dance floor with an intention but without worry, huge smiles, no fancy footwork.
Listening to Frederick Loewe and Alan Lerner’s "Wouldn't it be Loverly" on repeat.
In part for the florists; a bouquet for any occasion; becoming wilted.
Pondering our littlest's first years and wondering who they benefit more;
an ongoing exercise in purpose.
For some, the best part is standing at an altar made entirely of flowers promising each other the world; for others, it is sliding on your knees in a white dress across the polished wood floor while the adults give speeches and watch in awe.
My daughter came home with a small pot filled with soil and seed. Will it ever sprout? Fuck if I know. The anticipation is killing me.
Opens April 1, 2023 at 5 PM
On view until April 29, 2023.
Primary (Est. 2007) is a context and research-driven curatorial collective with an emphasis on public art. We thrive amongst the self-taught, working-class misfits, who explore the margins of a new Americana through pungent, human-focused narratives. Our program engages with the raw and uncanny, celebrating border voices, bootleg culture, and intergenerational commentary, connecting the new and unseen with broader audiences and evolving collections.
