“In the summer of 2018, I curated an exhibition of ten of my close friends.
I curated their work together because they are all great artists, but also, because they are all my friends.
I like curating, of course, but I like my friends more.
And many of the participating artists have connections and friendships as well. I didn't want to separate this from the work. Not because it would be dishonest, but because,
It is important that we are friends.
It is important that some of us grew up together.
It is important that three of us lived together.
It is important that we all have strong ties to a basement just down the street.
Affect held us together. Affect held our work together.
Affect held the room.
The Affective Pull
pulled me in.”
