The Uncomparables / Forming a Suspicious State

availability unknown, if interested please write an email

The drawings engage with a corporate space of institutionalised observation and monitoring.

The imagery addresses the notion of the immaterial workforce, a form of contemporary work which takes place everywhere and nowhere. Hands are slowly feeling and sensing a keyboard, a mouse, a screen, a chair, hair…

Althrough the figures might seem to be engaged with light or ineffectual work, at the same time they seem vunerable and unable to fully articulate their actions. Digital spaces are interrupted with abrupt movements and actions, vioolently disturbing the violently disturbing the virtual and pushing it towards immanent disaster. Disaster here is not solely understood as exclusive to the outside but as an inner and pervasive state. Here there is political disaster, emotional disaster, everyday disaster and disaster yet to happen.

The drawings in original form are felt pen, pencil, and ink on paper, and are circa 30x20cm. The drawings shown in the book have been resized, cropped and rearranged by Ben Cain after conversations with the artists.
