about

01 Blob Relic Zed (49:27)

"Harassment is too discomfiting a bar, but the gaze of viewers' exploitation lowers the translated response. Typewritten glories enrage wall circuitry, as ejaculations of evidence imply, yet administrative skin overlaps into ancestry with the haunting, reflective 'cube' appropriation 'The Extant Reluctant'. Its inequities identify with institutional longings, disturbing dislocations of future anomalies wronged by anxious color overlays. Smugglers score themselves, googling in anxiety. Borrowed stares phone booming caverns. Tom Smith's speech is a documentary control group. Its placement atop mirrors of specific frustration purchases an embarrassment of screaming conceptual processes, each thwarted by an inaccessible trigger. The artist here is a refugee, spewed, altered, reassembled, explicit, unnatural. Timeless erotic sound abuse."

A.H. Gadge, Contours No. 19, Aug-Sept 2018.
