Please join us Saturday, December 6th, from 7pm to 10pm for the opening reception of “Trench”, a solo exhibition by Caleb Jamel Brown.

“Trench” is the second coming of SweatStudy EP, presented at Baba Yaga Gallery, Hudson, NY on September 25. This body of work by Caleb Jamel Brown traces the impossibility of reckoning with loss in the illustrative–A cartographic refusal, where representation slips, fragments, and reconstitutes itself against erasure. Brown’s revamped Installation of photographs, prints, assemblage, and sculptural interventions, accompany a suite of drawings spanning the last five years, as well as clothing and painting collaborations with Rawbeas. @rawbeas @twoflats

Many of the works are on paper, layered,stitched, and bound with upholstery floss—held together just enough to thrive. They inhabit an indemnitary space, always on their way to becoming in pursuit of form. These objects ramble and rupture, speaking in harmony with lapse. Hands. Precarity standing in opposition to the slow erosion of memory.
Ashy ankles
dwelling in the threshold,
Mid-formation,
Mid-gesture.
They wander,
They hum in the key of interruption. The slow erosion. Regime collapse
Truth only exists outside the frame..
Belief and desire become provisional–hung out to dry under the star, drenched in smoke. Ideals do not shatter cleanly; they splinter, the way a fortune cookie cracks unevenly in the hand.I’m not myself on the days I jump the puddle and scrape my knee. Every other day is choreography on repeat .Every other day on repeat. Winter reiterates that there is no redemption for what we once knew—only the lingering grey puddle of pursuit.

Caleb Jamel Brown (b.1993) is an interdisciplinary artist and plumber from Atlanta, GA, Currently based in Bedstuy NY. The Utilization of abstraction and vernacular as the foundation for larger cultural narratives is at the core of Brown’s practice, often working with photography, installation, printmaking, sculpture, painting, and video. His obsession with intersections of Black American material culture, representation through abstraction, visual vernacular, hand-me-down garments, and kitschy décor. by @twoflats

It is true that we carry the idea of us along with us. And then there are 680,000 dead and it is incomprehensible and ungraspable. Physically and emotionally we cannot bear it, should in fact never have the capacity… it is a sieve that cannot hold the loss.

Spent the better part of last week sifting through flat files, photo books, artist correspondence, We Do Blues tapes, contact sheets, and drawings at the Historic Grant Park home of @mildredthompsonart and Donna Jackson. The first image captures sculptures from Mildred Thompson’s Bird Dance series, taken with one of their old Diana DE Lux cameras🤎 Grateful for those lanky guardian angels watching over me as I rested✨Endless thanks to @melissa_messina for the invitation—these moments, I hope to never forget. Already looking forward to the next visitxo by @twoflats
