Field Projects is pleased to present our summer open call exhibition, more is never enough, curated by Triton Mobley. In this astute curation, Mobley has selected an outstanding group of artists, whose work asserts a materiality of desire often communicated through the tactility of raw or distressed materials. 

“Far beyond the discourse of economization and industrialization of creativity in the conventional sense, it is now no longer a matter of the becoming-commodity of culture, but rather of economies of desire, of a subservient modulating of our desires and their disciplining modularization.” 

In this collection of works the artists don’t shy away from the excesses of material, production, or spent energy — all surfacing — all unravelling at the seams of discernible tactility. Tufted fibers, undulating clay additions, and the repurposing of lossy images packaged and interwoven all in service of functional spectacle and a refutation to our aesthetic desire. It is within the reaches of this untethering that draws my fascination of how makers craft, build, and simply make their art objects — dotting creative spaces with cultivations of their own aesthetic desires. Within these excesses of material usage the question becomes, how do you determine when the art production stops?
