In the thick of it. Life and culture seem tense, felt in the back of the neck. Are you repulsed, or drawn to this sciatic, obsessive interior? There is no neutral position. ACCURSED SHARING follows what Pierre Klossowski called the suppôt: “How can one give an account of an irreducible depth of sensibility, except by acts that betray it?”

Betraying their interiors, Chandler Abrahams and Valentina Sartori have produced new sculptural and image-based work foreshadowing a metabolic protagonist exhaled out of the internet. Several neon works by Kartika Laila Ahmad diffuse the tension of the contemporary built environment into the imaginary of its counter-utopia: striated and capillary-like neon batons meet steel framework. Thomas Brown’s viscera triptych exposes the libidinal core of breathing-things: assemblages of guts rendered soft and edgeless.

ACCURSED SHARING empties out an attic of obsessional images, a body without organisation.
