STEVEN COTTINGHAM: All My Faith To See

Exhibition Runs: November 8th - December 14th, 2013
Reception: Friday, November 8th, 8pm-11pm

In the UAS Main Space 

All My Faith to See comprises various attempts to integrate romance and longingful capriciousness into our bureaucratic language. The impious maintain that nonsense is normal in our vernacular and that the reasonable (and even humble and pure coherence) is an almost miraculous exception. So, if honour and wisdom and happiness are not for me, let them be for others. Let heaven exist, though my place be in hell. Let me be outraged and annihilated, but for one instant, in one being, let thy enormous bureaucracy be justified.
