Eden Mitsenmacher: you had me at hello

you had me at hello by Eden Mitsenmacher in collaboration with Sarah Hardy (aka Hebe Konditori) and Rebecca Tritschler.

For the exhibition, Eden will show work which allows the ordinary to assert time, and demand space, in this constantly fast-paced arena we call online.

Within these (semi)borderless platforms we relentlessly search for an agency which is fragile and mostly constructed, and we stretch the ideas of relationships in order to reconstruct ourselves virtually - we are at once both public and private.

Leading up to her exhibition, Eden has been contacting the curator Rebecca through the forgotten medium of letter-writing. This idea of an estranged pen-pal will continue in an online residency on isthisit? the week before the opening, where both artist and curator will expose conversations, thoughts and feelings.

you had me at hello is part of arebyteLASER's 2017 programme titled hotel generation - a series of exhibitions by a generation of young artists from around the UK, all responding to either contemporary ordinaryism, information overload, collective practice or reacting to the 'extreme present'.
