It is only through the nullification of these items utility that da Cunha can poke fun, not only at our knee-jerk art historical and cultural associations, but also at our notions of functionality.

Teresita Fernández : As Above So Below by
Describing a universe in balance, the phrase "as above, so below" originates from the ancient Hermetic tradition central to alchemy, in which every action occurring on one level of reality (physical, emotional, or mental) correlates to every other. Responding to MASS MoCA's massive and light-filled first-floor galleries, Fernández's trio of new landscape-informed, large-scale installations embodies this expression, and is united through the show's elaborately detailed exploration of two essential minerals. Fernández combines graphite and gold to create a series of immersive, interconnected installations whose scale shifts from intimate to vast, from miniature to panoramic.

Nochixtlán: Manual de Técnicas Para el Uso de la Fuerza by
Here, Rigoberto Díaz Julián has juxtaposed two texts: written instructions for police for the use of force and images from a 2016 confrontation between police and protesters in Oaxaca, Mexico. The protesters were blocking a highway, demonstrating against President Nieto’s educational reforms, and by the end of the protest 8 people would be killed by firearms. Throughout Nochixtlán, the instructional text moves through different levels of force used by police: verbal deterrence, physical restraint, use of non-lethal weapons, and use of lethal weapons. The calm and corporate tone of the instructions contrasts with the chaos of the images of protest, revealing the ease at which police violence occurs, and is excused. 32 pages. 11.5 cm x 16.5 cm. Perfect Binding. Risograph Printing.
