Hyper-hyper: Resistance, movement and the musculature of the everyday

Hyper-Hyper is an interdisciplinary art project that engages with movement, resistance and the everyday. Presented as an installation of doodles, sketches, marks and text, Hyper-Hyper uses artistic hypertrophy to create a direct connection between physiology and art practice. Artistic hypertrophy applies the constant process of destruction and growth necessary for building muscle, to that of building ideas and making art. What has developed is a project about process, provocation and performance, as visualized through a sprawling thought-web painted onto the walls of the gallery. Through form, the physicality of drawing and content culled from a variety of personal, textile, pop culture and literary sources, Hyper-Hyper goes beyond these specifics to champion the absurd, insistent, limitless. Hyper-Hyper is a frenetic visualization of a discursive thought process that connects art to athletics within the structure of academia, and in doing so, thrives in the shifting and porous boundaries between structure and flexibility.
