LETTERS AGAINST ISOLATION Episode 7: “Symptoms of Cyberspace” with Fleming Mason interviewed by Constance Leterre.

Artist Statement:

Fleming Mason is a London-based interdisciplinary artist whose work predominantly covers sculpture, sound, installation, and conceptual practices. His current studies are engaged with what he titles Inverse Anthropologies; that is, the attempt to look outside the subject, towards that which creates them (pertaining that bodies produce their environments as environments produce them). Inverse Anthropologies reflects this effort to understand human behaviour from a perspective where the body is latent; the attempt to approach the entity from the outside in. Recent works include sculptural investigations into what he calls Deep Time - the prehistoric and “hyper-futures”. By learning from or “placing oneself into” these different forms of time, we might be able to more accurately understand the present. He is currently developing a new series of works for his first solo exhibition, represented by The Who Gallery.

LETTERS AGAINST ISOLATION Episode 6: “Material and immaterial fluids in the cyber-meta-real-human-substance” with Jade Baldo interviewed by Constance Leterre. 

Artist Statement:

The pseudo-dis-trans-post-hyper-cyber real true human substance of beauty? The now? To define and materialise possibilities for the existence of this substance. Revolving around new media, performance and installation to fall back unavoidably into image making and documentation to narrow down and concrete what might be entailed by my practice. A fascination with the intangible laced by an overcomplicated amalgamation of incomprehension. To remain complicated as a way to represent my interaction with the contemporary world and self. To drown in an inexistent sea of this shapeshifting matter.

LETTERS AGAINST ISOLATION Episode 5: “On Holes” with Hugo Hagger interviewed by Constance Leterre.

Artist Statement: 

"To be more holy one needs to get comfortable with the idea of destruction. But the kind of destruction I’m talking about is the sharp clean, trenchant kind of destruction, a kind of burnt-sage, bad-energies, Marykondo-co-star-cosmic-fascism, if it doesn’t bring you joy, kill it, cut its throat with a thin blade, violently agitate and rearrange all its matter until it becomes gaseous, like a red mist and then inhale it and become effigy to the brutal sacrifice you have both made. Ash; thats my T.H.E.O.R.Y.”.

Raid.R and LUVA gallery have collaborated to form a podcast discussing the founding and processes of the two collectives alongside audio art from Baltimore based artist Judah Hughes (jwda). The audio previously released to feature as part of ‘LDVA Closing Party’ exhibition, is now publicly available to tune into!

-

With discourse surrounding the digital, physical and everything in between, Raid.R and LUVA discuss the importance and implications of the physical space, or lack of, for collective working and creative organisation. As well as how the digital has enabled possibilities not previously conceived before the pandemic, and the benefits of its globalising outreach.

Featuring the dimensionally indescribable work of audio artist jwda, we decipher sounds and discuss in relation to the present chaos of our ‘phygital’ world.
