FOYER-LA’s current project, silt joy, explores visual or technical grid-like structures that fold in upon themselves to become something new, interdependent, or a kind of index. Jessica Lund’s obsessive record-making of banal moments becomes frozen in time with her borax-grown crystalline structures while phrases lifted from pop streaming sources reframe her cursive handwriting as a tangible material. Bruce Bourassa speaks of being immune to time as, “...the interaction with the subject remains dynamic and sufficiently stimulating to keep me engaged, not infrequently in epic binges with no sleep and/or intense physical exertion...” Stones stuck improbably to Wyatt Lasky’s raw canvases present a juxtaposition somehow both deadpan and sincere. Like the two circles of his video, one reading tempers our experience of the other in a never-ending loop of potential meaning. Demmy Sarkodie’s techno audio mix careens forward with an intensity blurring into stasis. The work in silt joy transforms by making conscious reflection an element of its material. The architect, Tadao Ando references Peter Eisenman when speaking of this potential for reframing: “In order to get...to a place, you have to...blow it apart...you have to look inside it and find the seeds of the new.”
