The KOSMO group exhibition was on at Vienna’s Kevin Space, which ran from July 8 to August 7, 2016.
Curated by Franziska Sophie Wildförster, the show featured work by Marguerite Humeau, Andrew Norman Wilson, Jeremy Shaw, Antoine Renard and The Mycological Twist.
The installation included a range of wall paint, sculpture, video and photography; an assortment of materials from snake venom paint, oyster mushrooms in shipping boxes to 3D printed polythene sculpture on washing machine and a Kirlian polaroid. Staging fabrications within conceptions of contemporary and ancient mysticism, the works brought together challenge the humanist experience and explore thresholds of self and other.
The works approach and seek to make poriferous, the limitations of ratio through the proposition of non-human subject positions — ‘natural’, technologically and digitally made, ancient and contemporary — produced in human, artistic practice.**
