drinking: TEMPORARY PLEASURES actively consumes and satirizes new forms of placebo and synthetic desires created for a gloomy Anthropocene. The exhibition creates chaotic meta-narratives exploring self-care in the context of advertisements, propaganda, and pleasure. It oscillates between feelings of intimacy and alienation through a series of virtual and material explorations by artists Haley Matis-Uzzo and Cleo Miao.
