OCTOBER 11 - 21

1655 DUPONT st.

Curated by Layne Hinton and Rui Pimenta

Presented by Art Spin in partnership with TAS

Holding Patterns, an exhibition curated and presented by Art Spin will transform the Planet Storage facility at 1655 Dupont St. from October 11th - 21st. The exhibition, presented in partnership with TAS will animate a series of storage lockers with commissioned and site-specific art projects.

Recognizing the shifts and upheavals often associated with storage lockers, Holding Patterns explores movement, space, belonging, material culture, and transition. The exhibition investigates consumerism and the glorification of materialism, and touches on forms of marginalization in reference to issues of site-lessness, connoted by storage facilities. Storage lockers often house a unique range of objects from the precious to the useless, their contents acting as a metaphor for memory and forgetting, or the conscious and unconscious. Drawing together these varied realities of space, storage, excess, and access, Holding Patterns examines not only the personal stories, but the histories of urban development and community migration that accompany them.

In 2010 Art Spin presented their first-ever group exhibition in the same industrial building where Holding Patterns will be presented, animating a 10,000 sq ft. space. This time they are opting for a smaller footprint through a series of 5x5 to 10x20 units, and are excited to revisit this building in their tenth year of programming.
