ARTNET ARTICLE
Greek mythology tells us that Orpheus, master of song, descends into the underworld to retrieve Eurydice from death. Desperate to restore sense to a senseless loss, his song moves Hades and Persephone to grant her return. On the threshold of the upper world, he glances back at Eurydice, lacking blind faith that she follows. His forbidden glance destroys whom he seeks to save, an attempt at control leaving him at a greater loss.
A breakdown in a signifying chain propels new possibilities. With meaning-making under duress, symbolic order cannot be reconstructed without abstraction. Orpheus’s backward glance collapses into immediacy. But music and painting, like magic and mania, map complexity through frameworks to restore coherence. Loss becomes the condition of creation, and creation that of loss.
Orpheum enacts two theories of control. One turns toward the material where representation dissolves, another toward the site where representational systems take hold. In two acts, Orpheum stages a split in subjectification: material faith against symbolic order, embodied desire against operative unconscious. A loss of relation, within and between the two, sets the world in motion.

Some shaggy forms are more serious than others. A sudden protrusion makes
fine fractures; a residue builds along a column of air. Deal with the consequences
after the fact, upon hesitation. Uniformity is an absorbent surface, soluble
middle ground. The logic is one of deep privacy, except I was there.
A piece of straw soaked in red punch; a failed eclipse on the Spanish moss.
There is a zone of potential. First of all, the slit in the figure reveals all angles
to be right. In the calcified walls of the city, you may abstain altogether
so long as the water has firm grip. There are several events legible
in the murky surface: an elder awash in a fountain
a horizon protracting into a snout. The sun sets behind a cotton mountain
inverted at a critical moment. It makes an adherence, a cold-cut bandage,
a bloating before a luminous panel. Through hard work and focus
the mind can digest an oppressive teal, and God must be thanked for that
kiss his deflated snout. Describe the memory in a circular motion.
A depthless field rises vertically; even the most calcified forms bloat upon regard.
There is a maligning. There are discrete events—three, four, the heads
of foam interior, blue-freeze fluid. The cat made lively by a wide aperture.
The liveliest animal is born of a strong reduction.
