Goodbye studio. There are maggots dancing on our ceiling. Time to scrape insides, outsides, cracks scaffolding and all in between. Marie Kondo our souls. Rudi watches videos made by algorithms of grown-ass adults opening packages. We are still learning from and expanding on last year’s Session reading list.

Intervals is a digital image commission that engages the in-between—intervening times, spaces, pauses, and breaks in activity—as taken up by artistic practice. Presented on the Mercer Union website and Instagram, this program invites artists to consider their experience of temporality through its disruption, and the sense of before, during, and after that is punctuated in the process of reflection.

I’ve lost all confidence in being vocal about change, to know how to advocate right now. Pause, reset, rewind, fast forward, learn, unlearn, unravel, weave.
