Minotaurs is the first exhibition curated by the artist Harris Rosenblum. It springs from his interest in networks of communication and logistics, and their effect on the material world. Rosenblum is interested in objects that these networks might produce. Objects that can be virtual, physical or relational. Even objects that are so distributed and extensive that they are best thought of as hyperobjects; planetary systems of logic with the agency to act on a world. New entities and new exotics to be mined by artists working with and through emergent microcultures, fantasy lore, esoteric maker communities, and human-machine interfaces. There is a devotional and handwrought quality to these artists’ efforts to give physical form to the impalpable. Minotaurs floats through incipient currents in the collective unconscious, new sites of encounter with the other, and the transcendental interaction of mind and matter.
