Äppärät
Marfa, TexasÄppärät, opening at Ballroom Marfa on September 25, 2015, is about the mammalian hand, and the tools it touches, holds and uses. Taking its title from the name of a fictional post-iPhone device at the center of Gary Shteyngart’s 2010 near-future novel Super Sad True Love Story, Äppärät is concerned with labour, play and the uncertain zone between the two; with the extension of the body and the self, through technologies ancient and contemporary; with compulsion; and with death.
