iZONE - ARCHIVAL INTERLUDE
A weathered, transformed Cape Cod outhouse installed in a 48-foot tractor-trailer inaugurated a new space in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn.
THE DECONSUMPTIONISTS Art As Archive—wherein Jay Critchley, with BabySkinGlove, will be the debut exhibitor and performance collective. This continues EIDIA House’s exhibition initiative that evolved from the PLATO’S CAVE (underground) series to this mobile, aboveground archive and exhibition space.
Continuing his work envisioning the future of the planet and our state of impermanence, Jay Critchley’s installation, THE iZONE: Archival Interlude features an historic outhouse that invites the audience to step away from the ravages of this world, where past traumas and an uncertain future remain a constant struggle, and provides a platform for one to simply relax in the present. With the help of the collective BabySkinGlove, Critchley’s THE iZONE: Archival Interlude will transform this parked shipping trailer space, created by artists Melissa P. Wolf and Paul Lamarre, (aka EIDIA) into an enlightened facility for discharging, cleansing our distressed bodies and spirits of sensory and digital overload, thus creating a clean slate.
Each visitor will participate in a series of healing stations ending in the meditative, low-tech comfort of THE iZONE. The shipping container’s ambience will emulate an exclusive spa complete with blue track lights and plastic curtains. Visitors are fully protected from human judgment during their stay. With skilled and efficient guidance, treatment during the Archival Interlude will give each participant the opportunity to experience life in a post-archival, post-traumatic state.
