Angle of Vanishing Stability at Aspen Ideas Climate Miami Beach 2023

[justinhlong]

Throughout the exhibition, the systems we are born into are distilled and presented as sculpture, video, photography, painting, printmaking, site specific and participatory installation, and performance. Labor, service and servitude, unexamined caste systems, environmental catastrophe, migration, uncelebrated otherness and the incapacity of language to make meaning whole, are together treated as social and poetic material. Meeting this moment’s crisis with mitigated nihilism, the artists express our existence as a failure worth narrating.

How far can one be pushed until passing the point of no return? Stability is the objective but it often becomes inherently a figment of our imagination. Whether it is one’s home, finances, environment, social circle, or health, all conditions represent a delicate balance where stability is desired but is difficult to gain. The Angle of Vanishing Stability is a term used in naval architecture to measure how far a ship can heel over before it capsizes completely. AVS explores this razor edge of equilibrium, finding the limit and learning to survive if all goes upside down.

This piece is comprised of a sailboat that is completely upturned, suspended 10 feet in the air solely by its mast. The artist had used this sailboat, Captain Winky, as performative platform for his practice through regattas and experimentations over the last 10 years. Patrons will be able to approach and experience the piece by standing underneath as well as viewing from afar. Through this encounter, viewers can wonder at the balance while contemplating their own stability.

KDR305 presents Florida Room No1, featuring 24 artists, writers, and makers in an eclectic sunroom setting.

Florida Room No1 acts as a survey of subtropical artists living and working from Miami and beyond. Inspired by the Greater NY show at MOMA PS1 that assembles artists from the metropolitan area, this exhibition celebrates a snapshot of Floridian artists' uncanny and familiar “humid” thread they all share through various practices in an intergenerational grouping.
