Before the Look of Law connects Kafka’s enigmatic depiction of law with Si mon Leung’s 2006 curatorial project\, Look of Law\, to meditate on an unpr ecedented hostile takeover of the collective psyche by accelerated technol ogies of state/corporate/media collusion and their destruction of life and land\, domestically and abroad.
Exhibition artworks\, spanning the early 1990s to the present\, reassemble the uncanny parts of real life tha t follow us into the place and time of waiting before the Law. Their aesth etic strategies are far-ranging: parrhesia to parody\, speculative para-fi ction to granular studies of materiality\, redistributed auras of the inde xical to extra-legal effects of the readymade. They operate in double-time and longue durée to place an arrest on “the present.” Each teaches us abi ding lessons about disobedience\, aesthetic\, political and otherwise\, at the edge of democracy and fascism.
