Overview
Installation view of the 2023 exhibition “Alvaro Barrington” with view of white floors, walls, artworks and ceiling.
Familiarity as information
Digital communications
Ideology is the mechanism that harmonize the principles that you want to think you hold and what advances your material interest
You ask me what time it is and I tell you how to make a watch
I hate when People cant decenter themselves while listening
The culture sometimes bigger than the charts
The liquor store closer than the mosques
People come in with the platform for their own questions more than to sit and listen
The art lies in concealing the art
Public squalor and private opulence
Painting in the service of ideas
Socializing risk/privatizing profits
It was all a dream
Toxic beauty standards that are only attainable through money and surgery
Architecture as spatial financial form not as shelter or cultural manifestation
Buy land they not making it anymore
Work comes out of work
There is other ways to be punitive you dont need to throw people into jail
To survive to trive to procreate
Stories we tell ourselves about ourselves
Perform gratitude
Disruption innovation
Too much money chasing too few deals
Bearly breathing believing life is a prison
Im not angry at them im angry at the system
There are no distinct races of the species homosapien
A culture of immediate gratification
How long do you get to call yourself on the side of science and be continually wrong about the science
Bad faith identity politics
Manufacturing this case
Distributed social action
Dont use the time that im speaking to think about what you’re going to say next Your listening?
Questionable move considering the historical perspective
Hey Here is your fun fact about trees you know there are more non-deciduous trees in Norway than all of Africa-
One thing I don’t like is something I take serious taken as a joke
People wanting what they think they are owed
Y’all say what you feel but not what you mean
I dont even address loses to me is a lesson when you feeling like ur losing it feels like there is a lesson to be learnt
Maybe its just time for others to eat
Risk-free rates is probably gonna get to 5 percent
Our stories will be replaced by the narrative of science
