Joint Compound : An after/time Collective Exhibition

Join us for the opening of Joint Compound on Friday, August 13th from 6-9pm at after/time, located at 707 NE Broadway #205

Joint Compound brings together works by the current members of the after/time collective, Francis Dot, Kelly Marshall, Todd Molinari, Wade Schuster, and Jenn Sova. after/time is an organism that contains many parts. We view the collective members as the Joint Compound that seeps into all aspects of the cultural labor. This material acts as an industrial compound as well as the invisible connective tissue. It is the under-layer that supports the walls, artists, each other, our community, and practices. As collaborators, we value identifying, examining, and dismantling hierarchies as they inevitably arise. Similar to a rhizome, we see after/time as an assemblage, or grouping, of individuals that will continue to grow and change. Just as a rhizome does not have a beginning or end, after/time exists in the middle—connected through multiplicities. Joint Compound explores this connection through alliance. An offering, an introduction to ourselves and to you. We come together as artists each with distinct practices, positionalities, and methods, yet joined together by our collective labor to dissolve boundaries of the whole.
