curatorial statement.
Joint Compound is an assemblage exhibition that brings together works by the current members of the after/time collective, Francis Dot, Kelly Marshall, Todd Molinari, Wade Schuster, and Jenn Sova.
after/time is an organism that contains many parts. We view the collective members as the Joint Compound that seeps into all aspects of the work. The under-layer that supports the walls, artists, each other, our community, and practices. This material acts as an industrial compound as well as the invisible connective tissue. As collaborators, we value identifying, examining, and dismantling hierarchies as those inevitably arise. Similar to a rhizome, we see after/time as an assemblage, or grouping, of individuals that will continue to grow and change. Just as a rhizome does not have a beginning or end, after/time exists in the middle—connected through multiplicities.
Joint Compound explores this connection through alliance. An offering, an introduction to ourselves and to you. We come together as artists each with distinct practices, positionalities, and methods, yet joined together by our collective labor to dissolve boundaries of the whole.
