Testing Stuff

We invite you to inhabit an evening of feline adjacency, where the cat is neither subject nor object but a fluctuating axis of perception. This opening gathers a constellation of works that resist domestication—gestures, textures, and absences that gesture toward “catness” without conceding to representation.

Across the space, forms emerge and recede: a tail implied through negative space, a purr translated into low-frequency resonance, a gaze that refuses reciprocity. The artists interrogate the semiotics of softness, the politics of aloofness, and the quiet violence of being observed by something that will not explain itself.

Materially, the exhibition traverses fur-adjacent surfaces, fragmented light, and sculptural interruptions that seem to both welcome and dismiss the viewer. Temporal loops—feeding, waiting, vanishing—are rendered as disjointed sequences, inviting a reconsideration of care, autonomy, and the architecture of attention.

This is not an exhibition about cats. It is an encounter with the conditions that allow a cat to remain unknowable.

Join us for an opening reception that privileges ambiguity, lingers in the peripheral, and offers no assurances beyond the possibility of brief, disinterested acknowledgment.
