Interstice (May 15–31, 2021) is an itinerant, interventionist curatorial project featuring artist books, small sculptures, and sensorial installations that touch upon the theme of interstices*—interstitial spaces, moments, identities, philosophies, and states of being or perceiving. Throughout the two-week run of this experimental exhibition, artworks will rove in, around, and beyond Minneapolis, Minnesota; activating in-between spaces and filling cracks in the construct.

*Interstice (noun)
\ in-ˈtər-stəs \

1. a space that intervenes between things

a: especially one between closely spaced things, ie. interstices of a wall

b: a gap or break in something generally continuous, ie. the interstices of society

2. a short space of time between events

“Drawn on Marxian language and repurposed by Nicolas Bourriaud in his text, Relational Aesthetics, the term social interstices refers to a space that facilitates human social interaction. Marx refers to the term interstice as a pocket of trading activity that stands outside the capitalist framework. Similarly, social interstice as Bourriaud uses it references a similar defiance of the dominant system. In this case, social interstices are those spaces of free interaction that provide opportunities for social engagement outside of the norm.” –Indrani Saha
