July 26 - Andrea Bersaglieri and Hagop Najarian

COU•PLING n.

A mechanical device that serves to connect ends of adjacent objects.

We are living in an extraordinary time of polarization economically, politically

and socially. As a society we seem unable to find commonality with those with

whom we disagree. The world could use some unconditional love, and

understanding, and is in desperate need of finding that slippery balance of

commitment and compromise.

Art requires commitment. Relationships require compromise.

This dichotomy is the subject of the PØST Kamikaze exhibit: Cou•pling.

The artists that are included are also couples. The exhibit will investigate how

their work relates to each other (or doesn’t), how their processes balance each

other (or don’t) and their ability (or struggle) to find compromise in their

commitment to create.

“The day the power of love over rules the love of power, the world will know

peace.”

Gandhi
