the exhibition is just a hypnotic track about what could be seen...

Frick constructs a conceptual art exhibit inspired by Le Guin’s Lathe of Heaven, and a cast of artworks by Louise Lawler, Joseph Kosuth, Ellsworth Kelly, Tilda Swinton. The gallery patrons we see walking through the exhibit have maybe had their fill of concept art, maybe there are too many chairs.

W.T. Frick is a canadian cartonist, illustrator and occasionally a bartender, currently based in the U.S. She makes a webcomic about exhaustion, fictional art practices, precarious labor and doppelgängers.

Ursula K Le Guin (1929–2018) was an American novelist. She worked mainly in the genres of fantasy and science fiction, and authored children’s books, short stories, poetry, and essays. Her writing was first published in the 1960s and often depicted futuristic or imaginary alternative worlds in politics, the natural environment, gender, religion, sexuality, and ethnography.
