CALLY SPOONER
On False Tears and Outsourcing
21 June – 30 August 2015
Curator: Roos Gortzak
‘On False Tears and Outsourcing’ is the first institutional solo exhibition by Cally Spooner in the Netherlands. For her show, Cally Spooner will make a new series of devised, living gestures, which change every three weeks. The gestures mark the start of a long-term project by the artist, which considers the violence of being used as, and using, a Human Resource. The project presents choreographed instances in which language and emotional excess are extracted, then redeployed as strategy.
The show runs parallel to and in dialogue with the group exhibition ‘Violent Incident’ at Vleeshal Zusterstraat, curated by Cally Spooner and Roos Gortzak.
