Third Crescent

A central question in this exhibition is the notion of interface. Traditionally an interface is a point where two realities meet, a term that speaks to the contours of interaction, a porous membrane between insides and outsides, integrity and vulnerability, technology and faith. A space for decoding, and for engagement. The notion of interface also presents a certain kind of eroticism, as an occasion for integrities to dissolve.    

This exhibition takes inspiration in the life and writings of Cuban poet Dulce Maria Loynaz. After the revolution of 1960, Loynaz went into what historians have called an “internal exile”. She stopped writing entirely and remained in Cuba, rarely leaving her home. The poems leading up to this period show how political and social realities enter the private to imbue the intimate and the mundane with anxiety and uncanniness.
