AESTHETICS OF DISHONESTY
A group show in 3 parts

Genetic transfer




Gabriel Stones
www.gabrielstones.com/
Stones presents a site specific installation  which uses the program's themes of genetic transfer, parasitic systems and
the technique of camouflage to think about fitting in, copying, structures and relationships.

WANDERING WOMB
“Wandering Wombs” is the second in the series of dinner performances “We Are Soft Bodies”, a collaboration between Jolien van Schagen & Sinéad O’Dwyer, where they instinctively explore their relationship to their bodies through food, object, garments & performance. By inverting the codes of the dining table etiquette we will create a space where the relativizing
lens of humor allows us to temporarily disrupt order, ridicule control, and liberate the perceptions of the body and how it should perform according to commonly held cultural canons.









Sympoiesis
A night of live music symbiosis
The first in a series of experimental (live) music symbiosis exploring the idea of 'making with' - to collectively-produce systems that do not have self-defined spatial or temporal boundaries. For this first edition we will focus on parasitic systems and the camouflage techniques they employ to exist
in their ecosystem.

-Alistair Small- Camouflage
Camouflage is an evolutionary adaptation that allows the ‘wearer’ – animal or plant – to gain an advantage: to hide from predators, to gain a mate, to acquire food. Camouflage is an adaptation of visual deceit, an aesthetic of dishonesty. In the early 20 th Century, militaries began to apply the principles of animal camouflage to standardised military uniform, and train their soldiers in the arts of concealment and deception. As a result, landscapes, animals, plants all become weaponised. But camouflage is also an identifier. Camouflage is the aesthetic arm of military power. Far from giving invisibility, camouflage is a visible sign of force.
