an invitation to dance

an invitation to dance is a group exhibition initiated by Jess Tan that privileges process-led art practices that consider alternatives to excessive material consumption while minimising emphasis on extractive value and outcome.

Through pottering—embodied but unfocused thinking and working that playfully engages with and reassembles matter—divergences occur in a generative space. Lingering thoughts evolve and are translated into material outputs, formed by spending time in the studio, processing, reorganising, fiddling, and simply combining things to see what happens.

Such a working methodology challenges late capitalism’s reliance on efficiency and productivity to establish an alternative form of labour production through varied artistic approaches to slowness, collection, accumulation, re-use, and re-configuration.

an invitation to dance moves through human, non-human, and emotional registers to make meaning and invites us to contemplate alternate ways of moving through the world, with new intentionality around time, what we value, and how we consume resources.

loose ,, sparkling

loose ,, sparkling is a curated library and site-specific installation that seeks to explore the false divide between the human and non-human—the natural and unnatural.

Drawing from urban ecology, deep listening, vital materiality, and automatic writing while mining the duo’s longstanding friendship, queer sensitivities, streaming thoughts, and esoteric conversations, Kelsey and Justine will present an exploratory sculptural and audiovisual landscape in response to the PS Art Space building alongside a curated selection of texts including the likes of Saskia Beudel, Derek Jarman, Clarice Lispector, Joanna Macy, and Pauline Oliveros.

Playful and interdisciplinary, the collaborative project seeks to find portals of empathy and intimacy in urban environments as the outcomes of ongoing research into the ecology and materiality of deep time (comparative to ‘human time’, the billions of years that form geological or cosmic time).
