For their installation in Xpace’s Window Space, the artist collective VSVSVS are playing a sculpture game, or attempting to invent a language, or maybe they’re just following a series of (arbitrary) rules in a battle against the tyranny of choice. When finished, they are left with a sequence of objects that speaks to the process of working collaboratively while valuing the individual. Each object is created as a response to the object preceding it, gradually revealing their shared material fetish, telepathic abilities, and moments of stubborn individualism. Finally, through the magic of the grid the work is evenly distributed with no one thing prioritized over the others.
