Holes holding whole; Four watches of the night – BedTime, 2024
Boulos, McGeough, and Stocking unfold an installation and co-creational event series that asks: “What forms (in their many variations) do beds allow us to imagine? What grows from their fertile soil? What weird wanderings does a drowsy mind follow? What dreams come when we lie on grounds that hold our memories? What conventions unravel when we lie prone, released from the vertical 'I'—the upright standing I, the individual I, the restless I, the I who scans the horizon in search of somewhere else?”

What is land doing? Land-ing? On the shores of a meandering creek and the wildflower fields of No.9 Gardens, an exhibition emerges from this inquiry. Artists Amanda Boulos, Maurício Chades, Marianne Chénard, JP Longboat, Ella Dawn McGeough, Kelsey Pearson, Sarah Peebles, Erica Stocking, Christian Bernard Singer and José Luis Torres address the sensory experience of edges, limits, and borders— both settling and unsettling—to express how landing shapes and permeates the human dream world.
