Iridescent watercolor on Gaylord archival tissue paper five sheets To paraphrase a letter psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote to Roger Money-Kyrle in 1952: I am often thought to be talking about kisses as if they were perfect or as if they were corresponding to “the good kiss” which parallels Melanie Klein’s jargon. Actually I always talk about “the good-enough kiss” or “the not good-enough kiss” because in point of fact we are talking about actual kisses, we know that the best they can be is good enough, and the word “enough” gradually (in favourable circumstances) widens in scope according to one’s growing ability to deal with failure by understanding, toleration of frustrations, etc. The “good kiss” and the “bad kiss” coming from Kleinian jargon are internal objects and are nothing to do with real kisses. The best a real kiss can do with someone is to be sensitively good enough…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1596335888256-3UEWBMJF2EEPKZOYROOR/install5_web.jpg THE PERFECT KISS (QQ)* Installation view of The Perfect Kiss (QQ)* *questioning, queer, Foreground: James Lee Byars’The Rose Table of Perfect, 1989, 3,333 red roses, Styrofoam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1596336265928-BBIILQERZYWO54I84J15/silver+behind_web.jpg THE PERFECT KISS (QQ)* James Lee Byars behind, 1984 Detail view Tan paper with silver print Pencil on four sheets from a fourteen-page letter Installed with silver ink registration marks on wall Collection of Michael Lowe and Kimberly Klosterman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1596336961853-E81SISKORVKH8FROL0BD/festoon+members+lounge_web.jpg THE PERFECT KISS (QQ)* Matt Morris Festoon Drape (A Room of One’s Own), 2015 Ruched grey voile curtains Installed for limited viewing in the Member’s Lounge at the Contemporary Arts Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1596336348877-9G3OI7NNN1R65OO99UMP/silver+dad+and_web.jpg THE PERFECT KISS (QQ)* James Lee Byars dad/and, 1984 Detail view Tan paper with silver print Pencil on four sheets from a fourteen-page letter Installed with silver ink registration marks on wall Collection of Michael Lowe and Kimberly Klosterman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1596336413826-80MHIWA3K9CNSGVV3PF4/byars+heart+framed1_web.jpg THE PERFECT KISS (QQ)* James Lee Byars White heart tissue letters, ca. 1970 crayon on white tissue, two sheets Collection of Michael Lowe and Kimberly Klosterman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1596336210042-1A604EFL9BTV051D41XL/silver+install2_web.jpg THE PERFECT KISS (QQ)* James Lee Byars behind, rose/these, dad/and, top, 1984 Tan paper with silver print Pencil on four sheets from a fourteen-page letter Installed with silver ink registration marks on wall Collection of Michael Lowe and Kimberly Klosterman Arrange whatever pieces come your way. –Virginia Woolf.

It’s unpronounceable. Everything I don’t know is in “X.” Death? Death is “X.” But a lot of life, too, for life is unpronounceable. “X” that trembles within me, and I fear its diapason… I hope you live “X” so you can experience the kind of creative drowsiness that slumbers through the veins. “X” is neither good nor bad. It always independs. But it only happens for what has a body. Although immaterial, it needs our body and the body of the thing. There are objects which are that total mystery of “X.” Like what vibrates mutely. The instants are shattered fragments of “X”… Is the “X” the breath of the it? –Clarice Lispector. The Stream of Life.

Sarah draws from very personal childhood memories of the fruit picked and eaten directly from the field. A wobble between sweetness and tartness, sun warmth, green as well as the flush of red fruit. Directly juicy. Rachel (mochi) Qualities of camp, artifice, dress up, and frivolity are conjured with Rachel, which addresses the long traditions of strawberry applied to confectionary uses. Inspired by mochi balls, milkshakes, and artificially flavored candies, Rachel compliments a strawberry accord with fluffy heliotrope and vanilla, milk and butter extracts, honey, and touches of blood orange and raspberry. Ingrid (fury) Distortion, deception, and successions of signals aimed at manipulating perception through appearance and smell, with a nod to Cukor’s 1944 thriller starring Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid is a strawberry set aflame, smoldering among toasted spices and incense. Opoponax, frankincense, and myrrh, cardamom, coriander, clove, as well as several types of pepper that register more floral and fruity than hot and spicy, are brought together as a fiery bouquet in which strawberry is situated. Smoky vetiver and benzoin finish off the blend, suggesting the fruit as a radiant ember. Carmen (criminelle) The most experimental of the group, Carmen is a strawberry born of both flora and fauna. Hyraceum and an aldehyde derived from cumin—which shares many chemical attributes with the scent of human sweat—are among the materials used to suggest a bodily landscape in which languishing fruit occurs. The sun ripened sweet rot smell of immortelle coaxes Carmen toward a state of gentle, masticated decay. Issuing from these collapsed berries are the distinctly metallic aspects associated with blood. Carmen is suggestive of a crime scene, even one invented in personal fantasy, centered on bloodied fruit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1566866462316-WKBVGG9RPARIGWMLFMW6/TROTV_majeed_web.jpg I AM ALWAYS IN THE EXCESSES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a90f6005f8e25d4591948d/1567005750237-FZ7WLIV66UK02PC2AUQW/_N2A7832.jpg I AM ALWAYS IN THE EXCESSES A Soldier, a Magician, and Two Figures Watching a Burning Skull, 2016 Oil on linen on three panels, text on lithograph edition, digitally printed satin, sequins, wood, satin cord, flaming skull wine bottle holder, 2014 Barbera d’Alder Viola Wine Cellars Installation view at Cherry | Lucic.
