Since the summer of 2022 artists Guillaume Jannes (2000, Belgium) and Momo Gordon (1992, USA) have shared a digital life; finding each other in the crevices of the internet. Through conversational correspondence the artists have created, unknowingly so, an archive of queer, relational and narrative artistic research, suspended between the personal and theoretical. This correspondence resulted in a clouding of the boundaries of their autonomous practices based in drawing and text.
In light of their first duo-show at VROOM in Brussels and the publishing of their first collaborative book by Colorama Books, in this talk, Jannes and Gordon will untie the knotting of their correspondence over the past three years. Revealing the potential of interpersonal relations as a methodology for artistic production and touching on themes like liminality, auto-fiction and queer utopia.
