101 tutu by Nat Kochan 17-26 April at Biblioteka

To pass through death successfully is perhaps the oldest fantasy of power: a system of inclusion and exclusion, separating what is to be carried forward from what will be abandoned or forgotten. But what is carried forward is never simply what was intended. Preservation distorts and reallocates meaning as much as it protects it. Objects outlive use, outlive belief, outlive the hands that made or handled them, and continue in altered form, for better or for worse. Their survival does not necessarily dignify them. Just as often it makes them stranger, smaller, more available to accident.

The work in this exhibition begins from this state of wayward persistence and from a question of afterlife. Not the afterlife of souls, monuments, or treasures, but of forms that have lost or given up their authority. Hobby foam, glow-in-the-dark paint, a miniature silver clay head of Tutankhamen, off-cut pieces from a hurdy-gurdy assembly kit. The works are sculptural collages, in a very literal kind of pritt-stick sense, that don’t conjure images of an eternal ever-after. They also don’t direct our attention to the ephemeral or transient nature of life. They refuse to settle into any neat opposition. They are playful assemblages with sharp elbows that nudge you in the wrong direction, lead your mind astray, and leave the door open to a logic of attachment that isn’t bothered with reverence or negation. The works seem to ask to be approached with a kind of ungrateful seriousness, in which their inherent deterioration and instability are acknowledged while neither mourned nor celebrated. Not everything here will survive, but all of it has already survived something.

PV 17th April 2026, 6-9pm
