Aphrodite XXI, The Epoch series, Edition of 21

2022

About the Item

The goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite XXI. Social media have changed the way we think about beauty. New, unrealistic standards of beauty based on Instagram pictures cause a tendency to seem rather than to be. We have become dependent on continuous and short-term social approval in the form of likes/views/retweets. Children born after 1996 are the first generation of children to have been hooked on social media since primary school. At an immature age, children began to compare themselves to unrealistic images on Instagram and form their visions of the world. Based on research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States, with the advent of social media from 2009 to 2017, the number of suicides among girls aged 15-19 increased by 70%, and among girls aged 10-14 years - by 151%. Similar statistic with self-harm hospitalization. The destructive downside of human technological evolution. A constructive future is possible only in the balance of biological and technological spheres.

  • Hook Ups and Lay Ups
    By Cal Lane
    Located in Montreal, Quebec
    Laughter, discomfort, perplexity: these are all plausible reactions to the work by sculptor Cal Lane. The artist’s most recent body of work is an affective assemblage of incongruous parts that, taken together, violate our mental patterns and expectations. Charged with contradictions, metaphor, sexual undertones, and unsettling associations, Lane’s unlikely combinations use absurdity as a way of pointing to western society’s normalized habits and conventions, often with an emphasis on gender and sexuality. For the exhibition Try Me, Lane installs a basketball court in the gallery. The two basketball hoops on opposing walls are embellished with silver-coated frames and lustrous mirrors, which serve as decorative backboards. In place of nets, women’s black lace underwear delicately hang from hoops. A decorative rug stenciled with court lines performs as the court floor. It is a mise-en-scène set in motion by viewer’s reconciliation of the individual parts to the whole, and to their original function. Panties regard themselves in the mirror or perhaps measure up their opponent, which, not without irony, is the mirror image of itself. Themes of gender and sexuality are performed and imagined in the upward voyeuristic gaze of the viewer and the expected swoosh of the ball into the net. This is further elaborated by phallic impressions formed by court lines and their likeness to a work of modernist abstraction—a movement wrought by notions of masculinity. The decorative rug’s connection to femininity and domesticity juxtaposes the rigid geometry. Lane further explores the historical gendering of technology, industry, and war in her series of wallpaper drawings, which depict war submarines on cloud patterned wallpaper. The innocence of the submarine in popular culture and its reality as a phallic war object...
