Philip Hinge: 41 ELIZABETH STREET NEW YORK, NY 10013

  • Hang in There

    JULY 18 - JULY 26

  • What never to say? Hang in there.  

     

    She thinks of Freud.  

    I think of Thek.  

    The end of life paintings.  

     

    A picture of the thin white duke on hands and knees in a tailored suit. Religion for people who fear hell, spirituality for people who’ve survived it. Straining to define it.  

     

    Do totems work? 

     

    Under a tin fleur-de-lis ceiling—royalty, purity and light. A birth right. A drop ceiling is a sordid ceiling, isn’t it? In church basements, in doctor and dentist offices ceilings undyingly drop. You  can’t slacken under a dropping ceiling. You can’t sleep like a baby. Wild-eyed, keep me safe. 

     

    Do you believe in epigenetics?  

     

    Design a mobile to hang above a child’s crib. 

    Close eyes, decorate.
