Y2ARTS has a strong inclination towards identifying and developing new creative art forms and artists. The gallery, having successfully collaborated and promoted emerging artists to their worldwide collectors. In this October, Y2ARTS is pleased to present “PURE EVER”, a group show curated by Temp. Group. 

PURE EVER features 13 works from a wide range of artists, thinkers and practitioners of varying social realities and disciplinary ambits such as: fashion, fine arts, design, photography, writing, research, video etc. The works presented will delve into invisible intersections between intimacy and technological interpretations of the past, present and future. We aim to begin shaping such interpretations under the agency of our own becomings, destabilising hegemonic realities and allowing alternative worlds to flourish.

~ In this post-human era, all of our lives are vastly intertwined with that of the non-human and machine. All the ways in which we live, act, touch, feel, and fuck are intrinsically embedded within our interactions with technology, becoming virtually inseparable. While we experience intimacy and love as something infinitely varied, and constantly evolving, the technologies being developed to facilitate this seem to abide by limited and pre- existing social and political contracts. We must, as complex beings, locate the intersection where our experiences with intimacy can be made visible and viable amidst technological upheaval.. In this vein, PURE EVER speculates a rapport with the technologies of previous, current and future worlds that imbue a sense of agency within our lives, and investigates the infinite possibilities arising from it. ~

PURE: A form more/ and more\ or less like you – pure organic technology of the primitive, of the adept and inapt, of affection, and of the decorporealised.

EVER: An ever-continuing development that creates its own form, self, and thus, destiny.
