Artists' description:
"What if white noise is leaking out of a theoretical white hole somewhere nearby our home, e-town (Earth). A white hole is like the theoretical anus of a black hole: it is infinitely small, infinitely flat and flattening, and it projects itself very far. As opposed to black holes, a white hole separates and segregates. What if white holes are not ‘real’, but more like something we made up (like money, war or linear time) because we love to have a white a-hole in all our stories? Where, then, do white holes get their power? It might be from the constant noise they produce. The nature of whiteness is that it impacts and gets inside everything. We have all been listening to white noise for a few hundred years and it keeps getting louder."

About the artist:
Cassie Thornton of The Feminist Economics Department (The FED) has worked with and written about art against capitalist financialization extensively. She has hypnotized hedge fund managers to have them "see" the debt they owe us and she created an alternative credit reporting system to support people to get housing and jobs in spite of massive techno gentrification. She's given cursed paintings to bankers who profit off of destroying public schools and she's taught liberation feminist economics in corporate yoga studios. Three years ago, she also launched a collective mutual aid protocol called The Hologram and wrote a book about it that was published by Pluto Press.

In this exhibition, Cassie will play the cursed prophet Cassandra, a native of the Flat White Dimension (FWD). She uses the exhibition to describe what it feels like living in a place where you suspect the things you like the most (like coffee or party drugs, for instance) are made from the distilled pain of somebody else. White noise fills the place to cover up the sound of powerlessness as we watch our demons come out of the sidewalk.
