Regular exhibitions are delimited by gallery walls – fixed, solid, square – not like the sprawling scaffold IMT’s group show is built around. No two sections are the same. It’s asymmetrical; also amendable, provisional; scalable, too. It can support limitless additions and varying configurations. Curated by Kirsten Cooke, ‘Snow Crash’ poses a framework for building and understanding infinitely complex, expansive systems.

I want to fuck you like an animal. I want to macerate you, absorb and metabolize you. I want to make you cry.’ A loose-haired woman aims a rock broodingly at the camera, arms uplifted through bleeding sunlight. Tai Shani’s video I Am Paradise (2017), screened next to Stupart’s projection, features an AI answering back to its creator. Scaffolding intercepts the works with materials evocative of subsistence activities: above Stupart’s, a makeshift cardboard shelter; in front of Shani’s, a ridged steel batten. Dislodging us from our neutral viewing positions, the scaffolding around these works invokes discomfort to challenge the omnipotence of the curator and, by extension, the audience.
