MATERIAL AGENCY

If someone asks you what something is, you can tell them what it does or tell them what it’s made of. Those are really the only two options.
Commodities, like artworks, are agents of culture, crystallizing the unconscious desires and energies of their moment of production.

The commodity should not be passively consumed, but instead have the potential to become chains of thought, through which our lives might be interpreted, contextualized, questioned, and connected.

By seeing the commodity, the audience sees the world around them anew.

We treat commodities and materials as entities with their own “agency.”  

Culture emerges from an endless material conversation: between people and people, people and things, things and things.

The difference between matter, life, and society is the difference between me, myself, and I.

Clients are artists (making things), we are curators (interpreting and contextualizing).
