M. David & Co.

A few months ago, during a conversation between Phong Bui and the sculptor Rebecca Smith, Rebecca mentioned that she was preparing for an exhibition at Art Cake with my curatorial project, M. David & Co. Phong suggested it could become the basis for a Singing in Unison exhibition. I am deeply grateful to Rebecca, whose work and generosity made this project possible; to Phong, for inviting me once again to work within the Rail’s extraordinary program; and to Cordy and Ethan Ryman for providing their Kunsthalle-like space at Art Cake.

I felt compelled to curate an exhibition that was wild, chaotic, hanging together by a thread, that took risks—an exhibition with no obvious curatorial solutions. Something uncomfortable.
