GDL525 presents This Quiet Place is Fantastic, an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by sophie serber. Drawing from her experience as a performer in the porn industry, serber's long-term project conceptualises proliferation of porn as akin to a cellular process of productive self-cannibalisation. Working across the histories of painting, sculpture and video, she researches the production and negation of consumptive desire in digital pornography, and its philosophical analogues in postmodern society.

sophie serber (b. 1993, Santa Cruz, CA) lives and works in Amsterdam. Across her work, she is into thinking about control of the self within broader societal structures and power dynamics. She explores the degradation inherent in interpretive perception by utilizing image and language processing programs sometimes alongside forms from mirroring cellular systems, connected organisms or abstract math. Her experiments with thresholds of certainty stem from an interest in the correlation between belief and denial, and how that parallels the courtship between aversion and attraction.

Opening Reception Thursday November 19th, 3-7PM. The show is visitable on appointment and Saturdays 2-5PM, with extra opening hours on Friday 20th, Saturday 21st, Sunday 22nd of November, 2-5 PM. Saturday 21st willl take place a tour of the exhibition 4-5PM.
