Upcoming Exhibitions

A “breach” is a rupture while a “breech” is the port into which ammunition is fed into weapons. As both entry and exit, “breach” and “breech” form a relationship of acceptance and violent expulsion, and violence is often a survival strategy allowing for continuation of the species or ideas. Considering the gallery as an entrance and exit of ideas, it has been developed as a purposeful void, a vacuum, displaying its cultural power through vacancy. Dedicated survival the gallery, under duress of its very existence, must be filled, and as such the space is fertile for creation. Enacting this meme –the gallery’s need for survival— Breech personifies the space by allowing architectural elements to rupture the walls in efforts to reproduce. Inherently violent, this act of creation also contains an element of seduction referenced in the exhibit by organic patterning derived from the decorative breech of a Winchester rifle.
