@nadjafra ‘s “Iced Coffee for Grayson Cox” in Grayson Cox Survey: 2004-2026 @moist_roomtoswingacat Plastic Cups, wood, Epoxy Resin Dimensions Variable This sculpture covers multiple shows with “Iced Coffee” sculptures from a bunch of shows. These were masterfully made in Nadja’s piece here. A half-gone and wasted status accessory and potentially undrinkable iced coffee as the protagonist in a story still being written. Its parts are all contentious given that the container and straw are plastic and major ocean pollutants and the coffee is a globally fraught commodity requiring a lot of energy. These soon-to-be extinct elements compose a significant part of the American ideal: a sated consumer with an iced coffee in one hand and a screen in the other. Nadja also was one of the organizers of the show and showed me real hospitality during my stay in Berlin. So much gratitude! @nadjafra

“An Ambivalent Path to Everywhere” (after Grayson Cox) Software program, infinite loop, variable dimensions “An Ambivalent Path to Everywhere” is a generative simulation of urban growth, inspired by the tactile paving found extensively in Tokyo known as tenji blocks. Invented in 1965 by Japanese engineer Seiichi Miyake to help his blind friend navigate the city, the blocks became a classic example of universal design — useful to everyone regardless of ability. The system utilizes two main types of blocks with raised tactile elements, able to be felt by foot or mobility cane. The first type are parallel lines which indicate it’s safe to continue in a straight direction. The second type is a grid of bumps which indicate hazard — either a turn, dead end or other cause for caution. As the word tenji (点字) means “braille” in Japanese, the blocks become a way for people to literally feel their way through the city. “An Ambivalent Path to Everywhere” was created as a remix of a previous work by artist Grayson Cox, on the occasion of his 2026 mid-career survey exhibition in Berlin. Flipping the normal logic of a survey on its head, Cox requested fellow artist friends to choose and reinterpret one of his previous works instead of showing his historical works themselves. Thus, the exhibition functions like a music album of remixes made by various artists, with ambiguity in regards to authorship. The work was coded in p5.js and runs via a web browser in an infinite real-time loop on a Raspberry Pi. The inspiration for the present work by Marques Carrington was a performative object made by Cox while the two artists lived in Japan, circa 2003-2005. Inspired by the yellow tenji blocks found all over Tokyo, Cox developed a practice of wearing a yellow t-shirt and inviting people to draw on it with a black marker — one block at a time. As the interactions with people accumulated, so too did the pathways on and around the shirt. Serendipitous forms emerged, not planned by any single person, but keeping social connectivity as its central guiding principle. Grayson Cox “Survey 2004-2026” is currently on view at mõist ~ room to swing a cat in Berlin.

@larasaget ‘s “School” in Grayson Cox: Survey 2004-2026 @moist_roomtoswingacat Organized by: @nadjafra @jomar_statkun and Grayson Cox I met Lara at an after party for a show @davidkennedycutler organized and soon after went to India with her and 4 others to make a new public sculpture at @art_ichol Lara was a guest lecturer in my class @prattfineart and is a teacher in every way. She says: It took almost a decade to really perfect fusing the metal and stone. The union is a revelation that the two materials were once one. The fish is related to teaching. Visiting your class and also the way you lead through teaching. I feel the sense of teaching through your work. Specifically with how you invite locals in India to printmake, there is a quiet guiding voice that only a good teacher has. I used the word “school” because through working the Spiritual Teachings I study, I have experienced that the world is but a classroom. My Path is a Sound Current Path, The Path of Soul Transcendence. It has brought forward the Direct Experience of the Divine within. The fish are also biblical, symbolizing great miracle. The miracle is the classroom and the great gift of school or life. @graysoncoxstudio
