“Fuite [flight] covers not only the act of fleeing or eluding but also flowing, leaking, and disappearing into the distance (the vanishing point in a painting is a point de fuite). It has no relation to flying” – Brian Massumi on Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus.
Lines of Flight explores the rhizomatic relationship between artists and their medium. The artists in this exhibition repurpose the tools of their craft to create new ways of image making that embrace glitches, errors or slippages in the technologies they use. These faults constitute a negation of the medium as they question what it means to use these technologies. The artists open up new territories for experimentation or lines of flight that redefine what it is to work in their respective mediums. Just as the Deleuzian lines of flight emphasise the evolving nature of things, the artists in this exhibition show that the boundaries between mediums in art are porous as their works enter new discourses with other mediums and synthesise new ways of making art.
Lines of Flight is part two of three in Akira and Nathan Lasker’s curatorial project. Each exhibition reflects an aspect of Akira and Nathan Lasker’s artistic collaboration by presenting a selection of fellow artists that they admire and organising them around a conceptual theme.
