Curated Nihl
WHAT IS AUTO
Wyatt Gnarleene’s work explores the rich legacy of growing up queer on the internet in a Southern town of less than 3000 people. From the hyperspectacular techne of the web, to the multiplicity of the burgeoning metropolis, to the seclusion of the private, lonely bedroom, nothing is alien to him— but at the same time, home is nowhere to be found. Wyatt’s work arises from her sculptural (and obsessively curated) placement in the spectrum between spatial isolation and the discerning gaze of the masses. Excavating his own cross-section of queerness, anarchism, and criminality, Wyatt has emerged with an insatiable thirst for challenge and experimentation. Her current work approaches freedom through a series of investigations revolving around shame, politics, sexuality, and the criminal imperative, seeking to engage the social body in what might be termed “postmodern baroque.” There is no future for Wyatt, only a constant reel of the present. —Zillion Couture

“ And still, despite this, what shocks people most is the hatred of things: hundreds of bodies will very soon be locked away because they’ve harmed objects. It appears inconceivable to you, but it is not at all. Nowadays, objects are our best friends, our greatest loves, what we endlessly desire. And you, an artist, will not be able to prove otherwise. You ask me, in short, how we are feeling over here. We feel just about like elsewhere. Surrounded by a malevolent attention, obliged to perform useless tasks, wanting to change but not knowing how to. We feel alone. ”
