distructive forms of care.



Sun Yuan and Peng Yu: Can’t Help Myself



speaking of monsters
Ro Smit explores queerness, forms of care, and the conections between human and objects and objects and each other through a mix of found and made materials.
It's very important for them to create work through materially transformative acts that they connect with their queer identity. They step out of the straight line of human and object lifespans, taking on a different lifespan for material. In these works they explore motions of destructive care: A form of care that harms but is better than the alternative.

Moses Sumney: Cut Me.

When I'm weary and so worn out
Ooh, when my mind's clouded and filled with doubt
That's when I feel the most alive
Masochistic kisses are how I thrive
(Thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive)
Hmm (Hmm)

A stiffness inside my neck, and
Bangin' my head against the desk (Woah)
If there's no pain, is there any progress?
That's when I feel, yeah, the most alive, woah
Endurance is the source of my pride (Source of my pride)

Might not be healthy for me, but seemingly I need (Uh, hmm, hmm)
What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
what does it meen to care at the end of the world.
