Out in the metallic hue - Pluto spins.
- -
In 2006 Pluto lost planetary status.
Humans said,
in order for an object to be deemed a planet in our solar system it must:
1. Orbit around the Sun.
2. Be round, shaped by its own gravity.
3. Have cleared its orbital neighborhood of other debris.
Pluto failed to meet the third condition and was subsequently demoted out of planet-hood.
- -
Below the ice mountain skin of this once-planet, a vast ocean surges.
In that dark water momentum, no cosmic murmur published on Earth can be heard from.
Pluto, we slap thin palms against this infinite wall
and let your image pounce from the dark.
This show brings together work that exists in unstable or contested forms. We accumulate doubts, debris, contradictions, matter, as the force of our practices emerge. Pluto asks what value can persist when status is questioned or redefined.
