Olga Balema: brain damage

By Amelia Farley

Like the condition to which it refers, the exhibition brain damage does not just invoke a locus of injury, but also the diffusion of its effects.

Cindy Ji Hye Kim: Verses from the Apocalypse

By Amelia Farley

Illustrated with cartoonish hyperbole, Verses from the Apocalypse resembles the out-of-order panels of a dark, smutty comic book: spotlit vignettes of women bondaged by construction materials, restrained by scaffolds, fettered to medieval torture devices, and occasionally nose-deep in books, as if language itself were a form of punishment.
