Our Best Machines Are Made of Sunshine
A Sound Sculpture Installation and Solo Exhibition by Jacqueline Gordon

October 23rd – November 20th

Performances every thursday eve during exhibition

Gordon 19;s oeuvre contains installation work as disparate as inviting, womb-like interiors made of plush quilted fabrics and inaccessible, voyeuristic settings behind storefront glass. These seemingly opposite types of spaces merge in her newest installation at Queens Nails Projects: Our Best Machines Are Made of Sunshine. The 4-channel surround sound installation includes 24 speakers of audio sourced from two microphones mounted in front of the gallery. Gordon 19;s all-encompassing soundscape is housed in a matrix of white vinyl and speakers that whitewash the gallery walls. Replacing the white cube of the gallery with a white cube of Gordon’s own making, her piece teases out the irony of fascist strains within utopianism. The work references a gap between the lived experience of barebones environments such as sensory deprivation tanks and geodesic domes, as well as Brutalist architecture and the aspirational rhetoric that surround its production.
