Join us tomorrow for the Overture Act of Holding breath: A dying poem, a year–long exhibition that considers how transmission, change and affection reverberate on us, once objects and bodies are no longer [removed];
Thinking through logistical and maintenance systems as spectral forces, the exhibition rehearses different temporalities by juxtaposing multiple durations, compositions and assemblages of work.
Across seven acts (overture –act I to V– and epilogue), the exhibition’s organising principle aims to reveal the traces that, beyond physicality, movement and connectivity provoke. In doing so, it tests the political configurations that exist within such immaterial space.
The image contained in the title is this of an oxygen curve being exhaled from the mouth, taking the shape of a vertical concavity. As it evaporates into the atmosphere, the body’s warmth dissipates into a wider mass of air. We breathe and the self dilutes into the environment cyclically, just as the world enters in us, making space through circulation.
The cyclical patterns of logistic capitalism oscillate between violence and desire, suffocating life and exacerbating extraction, verging towards total mobility. Shaping a space of intersections between sounds, texts, performances and objects, the exhibition’s repertoire looks into that jointure where echoes, presences, vibrations and ties, reveal our structural fragilities and shared fractures.

Un léxico molecular
Ongoing
In parallel to fluent’s exhibition programme, fluent books will host across multiple Wednesdays, Un léxico molecular, a reading group in which couple of texts, selected in collaboration with the exhibited artists, expand the exhibition programme. This pairing triggers echoes, frictions and connections, shaping a moment of encounter and discursive re-signification.
