“In the most politically radical sense of the word, the artists in this show are conjurers. They conjure a presence previously unseen but always present. They conjure to affirm the possibility of something more. They are conjuring not in service of resolution within the archive, but for its expansion. They conjure to create, to question, to breathe, to witness, to spill, to break, to convene, to cut, to cloak, to name, to exist.”
