Press Release
Swiss Institute (SI) is pleased to present Metabolizing eviction try, work_mp3 and other games of topping, the first institutional solo exhibition by artist SoiL Thornton in New York City, where they live and work. Crossing boundaries of media, Thornton’s work grapples with identity, systems of order, and regulative apparatuses. “Topping” implies relations of control and power, which unfold here in the dynamics and negotiations between artist and curator, artist and institution, artist and city, as well as between the artist, their peers, and their own artistic production. It is both a method and a condition. Within this framework, meaning is broken down, processed, and transformed through lived circumstances shaped by precarious systems. The exhibition thus traces the fragile entanglements of life, labor, health, and property, reflecting on what can be made and upheld in their wake.
