"To go the long way requires an acknowledgement of time and its use. It’s an acknowledgement that the shortest and most direct way isn’t the best way for a particular trip. The long way provides an opportunity to appreciate what passes us by. To have the difficult conversations we have been avoiding. Or because the normalized route just isn’t available. The Long Way is a Video Screening of works by artists who attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. The eight Skowhegan Alumni in the screening represent alumni years from 2002 to 2023." — Jesus Benavente (curator)

Tappeto Volante is pleased to present Night Garden, our summer group show organized by Leonora Loeb and Elisa Soliven-Gerber, featuring work by Inna Babaeva, Heather Bursch, SiSi Chen, Braxton Congrove, Priscilla Fusco, Jaye Kim, cyriaco lopez, Keisha Prioleau-Martin, Heidi Norton, and Rob Raphael.
As we enthusiastically move into the summer months of rooftop gatherings, backyard barbeques, and evenings in city parks and rural spaces, we celebrate the potential wonder, mystery, and sensory intoxication of our communal gatherings. The works in this show awaken the ecstasy of summer while at the same they evoke connotations of dream states and mortality. We invite viewers to explore works in ceramic, glass, metal, mixed media, and photography where suggested nocturnal narratives, in between states, missing pieces, and ecstatic gestures come together in celebration of all that is the limitless potential imagined within the Night Garden.
beautiful show on books by artists at The Liminal in valencia, spain. it includes the deluxe edition of terri witek’s gorgeous, gorgeous poetry collection, ‘exit island.’ each book of this numbered edition, comes with one print from a suite of 7 images that I created especially for the book. the show closes on may 26.
EXIT ISLAND - POEMS BY TERRI WITEK - ORCHISES PRESS
Exit Island is a Blue Plato Special that seeks to remake nothing less than the language. Witek’s work (but really play) tops Whitman sexed with Carson, unleashing multi-vocal, -tongued, -genred, and just plain multi-poetry in extremis: word bubble, snakework, doll clothes, with a tender ear and a wildness metaphysical and physical.
—Terese Svoboda
Terri Witek’s Exit Island is a book of voyages, both terrestrial and temporal—explorations mythical and poetic. The reigning deities are Ariadne and Fernando Pessoa, and in verse lyrics and experimental. Witek creates a world filled with snake handlers, sea nymphs, sea chants, and mutinies. Hold on, dear reader, this is a book like no other, a swirling microcosm of the tragic and playful, of betrayal and deep and abiding love.
—Barbara Hamby
Terri Witek takes us on a journey deep inside, inside a particularly well-attuned imagination, as well as to a place of collective knowing. In this fine poet’s hands the actual world is broken up and rearranged into a kaleidoscopic vision of a love affair which spans time and space. This is a book wet with the sea and its uncertainties, in all their possible manifestations, yet the moments on dry land are also breathtaking.
—Nick Flynn

our show at arco madrid won a special mention by the jury (Ilga Minjon, Lluís Alexandre Casanovas and Marta Papini)!
we participated in the ‘opening by allianz’ curated section of the art fair (curated by Julia Morandeira and Yina Jimenez Suriel). Pablo Vindel created an intelligent, beautifully installed exhibit for the Liminal Gallery, E_l_ _a_i_r_e_ _c_o_m_i_e_n_z_a_ _a_ _t_o_m_a_r_ _l_a_s_ _f_o_r_m_a_s_ _l_e_n_t_a_s_ _d_e_l_ _m_ár_m_o_l_ , which weaved the work Terri Witek and I do together, with the work of Lemos and Lehmann, a duo of duos, as he called it. I am super happy for the gallery for placing work of our fellow gallery artists (including at the reina sofia!) and for a great press coverage.

Microscope is very pleased to present the premiere of The Exquisite Moving Corpse, a 65-minutes collective video made by 60 international artists during the pandemic between 2020 and 2022.
Assembled through a cadavre exquis method in which the first frame of a video visually links to the last frame of the preceding one, the project was conceived and initiated by Chip Lord, Jack Massing and Sean Miller. The event is organized by Liz Flyntz.
From Liz Flyntz:
“In planning The Exquisite Moving Corpse decisions were made to alter the methodology from a drawing strategy and apply it to video, specifically each invited artist would make a one-minute video based on the last frame of the previous minute.
The three originators would begin and curate the moving corpse (inviting 19 other artists each). Sixty artists in sixty minutes. Some artists produced their one minute of footage within hours whereas others took weeks to complete their minute. All the work, play, sharing, and caretaking resulted in Exquisite Moving Corpse, 2022. These two years of collective efforts provided a chance open-source project and an isolated yet connected creative act generated by an interconnected group of international artists.
Lord, Massing, and Miller made the first three minutes and then handed it off to an evolving list of artists whom they invited – a jump into the unknown!”
The full list of participating artists in order of appearance in The Exquisite Moving Corpse is: 1. Chip Lord, 2. Jack Massing, 3. Sean Miller, 4. Chiaozza, 5. Phillip Pyle II, 6. Kara Hearn, 7.

Bibbe Hansen, 28. Fereshteh Toosi, 29. Craig Smith, 30A. Tom Marioni, 30B. Severn Eaton, 31. Pinar Yoldas, 32. Adebukola Bodunrin, 33. James Benning, 34. Chris Beaver, 35. Connie Hwang, 36.

How wonderful to have the work be ‘historicized’ in this retrospective of the 40 years of Faux Mouvement, the great art institution in Metz, France, by the brilliant Patrick Nardin. What an honor it was to show there with 2 of the best experimental artists working in Brazil since the 1990s, Edson Barrus, and Yan Beauvais, in 2005. in the book, the works are grouped thematically, and my ‘Beijos de Lingua,’ appropriately, is in the chapter, ‘Le mot, la phrase, l’énouncé.’
the video (which in Metz was a video installation), is an example of the text-based work that i have been doing since the 1990s, and it can be seen here:
