Ramaya Tegegne "That you can’t fight City Hall is a rumor being spread by City Hall" opens Sept 24

Many thanks to frieze for this great review of Candice Lin "Spice" ! "Which is to say, Lin’s work is interested as much in fictionalized accounts as it is in history: on the back of each of the packets, printed excerpts of a story about addiction narrate ‘from the point of view of the virus,’ according to the press release. One reads: ‘A boat inscribed with the name, SILENCE, came to the nearest port to collect the hardiest of our kin.’ That ‘our’ seems at once to refer to in...toxicants, shipmen, some community of viruses reframed as the stolen and injured, rather than the threat and the ‘secrets, in the form of fat women, fat like a pagoda carved out of butter’ with which the sentence continues. The story, with its stoner-friendly twists and science-fiction paranoia, implicates art audiences’ interest in drugs’ effects with the violent histories that their packaging has transformed into saleable herbs."
