pr0xy-fl3$h, Amplify’s next Generator Grant project, reimagines the future of the corporeal image. Organized by Alex Jacobsen, and featuring work by Margo Johnson, Aspen Monet Laboy, and Matthew Strasburger, the exhibition/laboratory envisions a future where bodies are liberated from the interdependencies of their discrete parts; where autonomous organs emit their own frequencies and detached appendages glitch in the collapsing space between physical and digital forms.
Itself a body, pr0xy-fl3$h vibrates with restless movement toward unsettled futures. Collaborative installation work by Aspen Monet Laboy and Matthew Strasburger refracts and fragments video projections of the body using mirrors. Alex Jacobsen’s sound design and devised performances confront the anxieties of transformation. And sculpture by Margo Johnson provides a fleshy counterpoint to the exhibition’s more ephemeral and transitory works.
