PF Studios “In Other Miles”
At Public Functionary, the 2023 PF Studios Exhibition curated by Cameron Patricia Downey will run Oct. 14 – Nov. 4 in the PF Main Gallery #144, 1500 Jackson St. NE. Called In Other Miles, “it resides and ruptures from the junction of The Blues, repetition and departure to/from the end of the world.
“Inspired by the curator’s own extended studies of George E. Lewis’s sonic and psyche-concerned essay Timeless Blues as well as Tyrone S. Palmer’s musings on affect and Blackness at the end of the world, this year’s PF Studios Exhibit whirls around the world’s end as both a political praxis and a necessity. This necessity being grounded in a Blues ethic-based exploration of how repetition, mourning and the romantic (see: the ultimate) get us to and through the end of an Anti-Black world. Surreality, song, train, and all those things quintessentially in and of the middle west meet at once.” (from publicfunctionary.org website)
