In the House of the Hangman 1092

A full-size viola’s body is between 1 and 4 inches longer than that of a violin, with an average length of 16 inches. This results in a deeper and mellower tone. However, the thicker strings also mean that the viola ‘speaks’ more slowly. I get mine Tuesday. Tho it may make a Nero out of me, fiddling while you know, learning to speak (and breathe) more slowly ought to be good. I mean, these are Cassandra days, helpless helpless hopeless, and the big mud wind is out of Pandemonia, and I don’t want to go nuts. The press release for Slominski’s show explains none of it: “Sperm” comprises the semen of humans and animals splashed on the walls and floors of Metro Pictures. The theme of the exhibition is that of touch, specifically the moment sperm fuses with the ovum and fertilization occurs. As the foundation of existence, Slominski identifies touch as one of the most important forces in our world. “Sperm” represents both a shift in focus and continuation of Slominski’s engagement with this notion of the instant of contact, which has been a key element in the traps that have been a signature aspect of his work for more than 25 years. The elaborate and often hidden processes that go into Slominski’s exhibitions and works have long been the poetic and brutal crux of his practice. [Thankfully] Slominski acknowledges the burgeoning ubiquity of imaged semen — a new development in the history of images, which only first appeared in so-called adult films in the 1970’s but has proliferated since the onset of the internet. One day when I was 21, I stayed late after work at my summer job and my boss came up to me and asked me if I wanted to buy a glass vase with her. Why, I asked? She said, I like to smash them against rocks in the forest. In the end, Bacon’s figures are not racked bodies at all, but ordinary bodies in ordinary situations of constraint and discomfort. A man ordered to sit still for hours on a narrow stool is bound to assume contorted postures. The violence of a hiccup, of the urge to vomit, but also of a hysterical, involuntary smile …
