With Margarethe Drexel and Gabriel Cohen. July 23rd - August 27th, 2022. Artforum: Must See Press Release: Zeno’s paradox of motion, which makes it seem as if distance can never be crossed, is of course an illusion that is reliant on the idea of a fixed instant in time. There are no fixed moments as we move through space and time. They are a fiction that can be captured, but are not real. Time is relentless. So we say. Similarly, progress often feels as if there is a goal inevitably being worked towards: a vaporous target conjured through aspirational mythmaking that we glide to, a perception that may supersede the imperative to remedy the lived now. Things have got to improve, it is inevitable. But the seduction of teleology and the paradox of motion dance to the same song, see the same mirages, not unlike this present moment that has been so stubbornly extended. Regressive legislation over body and identity even makes it seem like the clock is ticking backwards. But moving through time amidst the ever dividing and subdividing setbacks, crises, and metamorphosing idealisms is the wandering window through which the present moment is framed, casting aside the hours shorn by its unpolished edges. Now as always, the curative remedies, structures, and myths that served their moments are left behind as residue and imprints of the hours that have fled…. …Kyle Jorgensen’s six framed drawings capture the stick forts that popped up in the early days of this moment, which he found on frequent strolls through NYC’s Riverside Park during the fall of 2020. Bold, high contrast marker drawings like Found Construction 1, 2, and 3 convey a record of reality that is somehow passively lived but manically devoured. Like the structures they depict, there is a devotional energy captured in what may seem like Zeno’s fictitious instant in time, but is in truth a flurry of activity functioning at supernatural timescales. The hand that drew them compresses months in a moment like a plein air sketch of a heartbeat. The 16 panel alphanumeric icon that appears elsewhere like in Bloods Lake is what Jorgensen sees as a sort of zero iconography with potential as “a signifier of both nothing and everything.” - Reuben Merringer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0e3b9165066232ebd6c01c/1666622895251-JBD60CXGENLIQOF27Y6U/IMG_5886.jpg Artworks Bench Plywood, tissue boxes, tissues. 2020. Tissue Box Bench delivers tissues from each opening until the internal box or boxes are depleted. Each unit (square and rectilinear tissue boxes) was organized to provide an interior structure in the general form of a bench. An exterior plywood facade was then built around the tissue boxes allowing for an opening by which every internal box may deliver its contents. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e0e3b9165066232ebd6c01c/t/63af1a3922957242ce3d2951/1670641258257/ Artworks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0e3b9165066232ebd6c01c/1605021149558-WCQUFWJHPY97BXFWGO0Z/Device+Cover.jpg Artworks - Device Lumber, particle board, roofing shingles, vinyl gutters, hardware, string, duct tape, dog ball launching device, rubber ball, dog bowl.

SSYNBAE is the distillation of an investigation into the 1997 event known as “The Bloop”, an underwater audio recording captured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The recording spurred a decade of early internet speculation including questions about a potential military involvement and some outlandish Lovecraftian theories.
