"An act of enduring is…an ongoingness that's under stress: the flag is falling apart. Over time, the flag will simply open up, like a flower...A nation that decides that it is larger than justice… is like that mouse that believes it’s mightier than the moon...” William Pope.L

@AHAAamericanart @SculptureJnl Thanks for the shoutout! A really amazing group of scholars working on exciting topics, ranging from Chilean mummies to Japanese shrines, German carnival masks & more! Loved the chance to interview @CASSILSArtist & Dario Robleto, who shared wonderful insights on this theme.

[ @CASSILSArtist -- thank you for this amazing conversation! ]

Cassils discussed their practice of "social sculpture" with us in a convo that ranged from the materiality of clay to architectures of care, technologies of the body, attention & perception, power & temporality. Mindblowing. (image: Cassils, Tiresias, 2019, video still)
