INTENTS & PURPOSES [2017]
GLIST! is a temporary band of others, performing shopping lists culled from social networks. GLIST! first took place on February 18th during - and anchored in response to - Latham Zearfoss’s solo exhibition, INTENTS & PURPOSES, at Andrew Rafacz Gallery in Chicago. By invoking and (literally) amplifying the mundane livelihoods of everyday citizens, this performance aims to elevate the mechanisms of daily survival by (marginal) folks in a hostile, hypercapitalist and individualistic moment. Using banal, and personal but seemingly apolitical source material, GLIST! tacitly subverts the archetypes of economic individualism and self-interest, offering instead a moment of beautiful discordance.
GLIST! (2017) is Anna Martine Whitehead, Cassidy Slaughter-Mason, Cathy Hsiao, Claire Arctander, Cordett Newsome, Jacquelyn CQQCHIFRUIT Carmen Guerrero, Darling Shear, Jen Delos Reyes, Latham Zearfoss, and Whit Forrester.
