Gathering knowledge from personal experience and individual influences- this project blends musical curiosity through improvisation.Last year- this project culminated in a debut album (released September 2019) and a sold-out show at Venue 505. Experimental- creative- and theatrical- this music takes prog and jazz rock to another level.'Listen with deep awareness- the system has turned irreversibly corrupt. Not knowing where it is leading us to- the inevitable emancipation has begun.'Lillian Hearne: clarinet- sax- vocalsRemi Marchand: guitarJay Woo: electric double-bassJuan Carlos Negrete Lopez: drumsBoroky (Art Pop)Three years old- Boroky potters around the shallows of the collective unconscious collecting smooth stones and shells. Boroky dances with giants (which is quite messy)- battles dragons (don't we all)- and has cool mermaid friends who make Boroky a bit bashful. Some people think Boroky is getting too big to drink out of a bottle with a teat.JetrioJetrio was birthed from a communal disdain- for each member hated each other's voices. Sean hated Alex's voice- who hated Blain's voice- so the vicious cycle went. With the aid of musical instruments- they were able to eschew conversation altogether and instead make 'musics' of an 'acceptable variety'.

In the 1970s- the number of heroin addicts exploded in New York. The Black Panther party saw the epidemic as a form of chemical warfare against the poor and people of colour. So what do you do?With the charismatic Dr. Mutulu Shakur (Tupac's stepfather) at the head- a core of activists from the Black Panthers and the Puerto Rican Young Lords occupied an entire hospital in Harlem and gave thousands of people free treatment in the form of acupuncture instead of methadone. Their success was a thorn in the side of Nixon.Mia Donovan weaves fantastic archive footage together with today's continually inflamed disparity between race and drug abuse in the United States- and Dope is Death tells a highly up-to-date story about racism- guerrilla politics- civil disobedience and an unresolved bank robbery- which may have been a cover-up. The fact that the story is new to most of us is an important part of it.

There's a kind of innocence and earnestness to looking up at the clouds. It's something we do as children - searching for shapes- glimpses of meaning that might suddenly give form to the expansive and changing sky. This yearning to explore and make sense of our world is lost as we grow. When we're not looking down- we look up and feel suddenly small- distant to whatever lays beyond and at the same time- completely at its mercy.It's this notion of the sublime that Jackson Farley uses as the backdrop to his work- but rather than surrendering to these systems of value at play- he peers through - poking and prodding- making fun and inserting his own narrative.His images- taken on his iPhone and blown up 17 times to scale- are riddled with Jackson's mark making- zany loose drawings overlay the forms of clouds- rock faces and flowers and he uses text to give voice to the anecdotes and narratives at the heart of each work. Whether it's 'i miss you' sprawled out over the heavens or lyrics to Taylor Swifts 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' tagged onto 'Jesus' tomb'- each mark becomes a catharsis and speaks to a kind of universal history - a mourning for naivety- lost love and family departed.In Jackson's video work- which shares the exhibition's title- we see a tangible 69th edit of the Bible. The Old and New Testaments are collaged together with the artist's personal narrative to create a hypnotic world that embellishes the fantastical nature of the original text. The crucifix that Jesus died on finds its voice and 'naughty' escapades ensue in the party to end all parties- where the faithful are turned into 'techno fish' and father and son finally have that much needed talk.Using irony- afforded by combining seemingly 'pure' and 'impure' imagery and text- Jackson channels the subliminal and parodies the way in which we see ourselves and our world. With the crudeness of slapstick- schoolboy humour and sexual innuendo- this body of work speaks to the irony of religion- god and notions thereof- whilst also conversely- being just as sentimental- heart-felt and self-reflective.In many ways- TESTAMENT PT. XXXXXXVIIII plays with value: we search for identifiable shapes in the clouds- find ourselves in the lyrics of Taylor Swift songs and we cannot help but identify the number 69 with oral sex. These dualisms almost appear as compulsions- competing for primacy within the spaces of image and video- one sitting alongside the other. They speak to the pathos and hierarchy of Catholicism- whilst also pointing out its irrevocable contradictions.Covid-19 guidelinesIn light of the Covid crisis and to ensure your safety we request that all visitors register upon entry and maintain social distancing. Private viewings can be arranged call or email the gallery to book a time.
