Me Dissociating @ Erickson Gallery, October 2017
"Me Dissociating" is an exhibition of original content memes that are so relatable that they make you say "same." Co-Curated by Sarah Turner and Chris Freeman.
“Me Dissociating” is about how viewers can deeply “associate,” or relate to images, tropes, or archetypes that can accurately describe a personality or situation in one caption or phrase. Memes are an omnipresent sight online, but there are countless niches and subcultures surrounding them. The memes in this show are made by artists who make original content consisting of personal narratives. Most of these accounts have thousands of followers on Instagram who follow and learn to understand their codified language and comment, “same.” “Me Dissociating" is less a reference to mental health, and more about dealing with feelings of negating a patriarchal society and finding one’s own place in an online community. Through memes, the show explores what it means to exist on the internet & IRL and deal with common themes of identity, relationships, coming of age, and conflict.

Post Analog featuring Paloma Kop & Sara Goodman @ Grapefruits Art Space October 2018 Curated by Sarah Turner
Post Analog::
Within the last 20 years, we've seen the transition from analog to digital video tools in the creation and distribution of moving images. Between maker and consumer, there’s always been a collaboration between user and tools, but now we rely less on physical labor and more on access to digital software and platforms.
Although there is a long history of analog video creation, within recent years, there’s been an increased resurgence of analog tools to create and distribute newly created video content. A renewed fascination with physical labor. We take a larger role in the collaboration with the machine from the start. We fetishize the passage of time; the destruction of magnetic medium. We aestheticize the failure and decomposition of a tool that always had planned obsolescence. Nostalgia for a past that had an optimistic future.
Now, we master the imperfection and glorify it. Intentionality of destruction; yet generative in its genesis. Paloma Kop and Sara Goodman produce video works of generative materials that they then manipulate through physical analog video processing tools. These time based recordings are both performative and ephemeral. A ghost on the screen, tracking, glitching, transforming. Both Sara and Paloma transcend this art form by creating prints of their works. Using a screenshot to hold onto the chaos. Printing out a screenshot, instead of sharing it online. The progression of glitch from electronics to paper, manifests our ubiquitous perception of technology ruling our world. The tools we use, either analog or digital, manifest metaphysical changes to the way we perceive the world.
