Chloé Quenum + Adrian Dan: Minimally Invasive
Galeria Nicodim is pleased to announce our exhibition with french artist Chloé Quenum and romanian artist Adrian Dan with an opening reception on Thursday February 26th from 19:00-22:00h.
The drudgery of creative professionalism.
A mix-up in the wash. Your best black shirt now looks
like the skin of an old bronze statue, weepy with corrosion.
There’s that jacket that makes you look interesting.
Some tchotchkes on the desk. The obsolete deftness with which you made emoticons, now quaint as shorthand, or flag semaphore.
Hopping from capital-to-capital, the same sleek wooden
angles backed by a different iconic skyline at the best hotel in _________.
Thumbing through pictures of an old crush on your phone,
some old notes from a previous “project” tucked away until they are of use again.
Maybe it’s time for a new shelf, one that angles just
so....
Of all the shelves being built in the world, surely there
is one that is just right. Surely someone has thought of you.
There’s always time to rearrange the furniture; the fettered
sticks that make up letters and words; the rows of images that don’t make a story
