"......The Broadway Gallery is pleased to announce Flow, a summer exhibition featuring an international roster of artists whose work investigates the relationships between the fictional space of the artwork, the world and experience.

Flow, a notion allied to the writings of Gilles Deleuze, suggests a new conception of the world and experience. The Deleuzean premise that “everything flows”—air, water, breath, bodily fluids, blood, traffic, information, capital, paint, culture, people and ideas—encourages novel reflection on social, cultural and political processes, including ecological and libidinal economies, but also artistic production.

"Under a rubric of Deleuzean flow, “being in the zone” means more than an elusive experience of uninterrupted creative intensity and loss of self-consciousness; being in the zone de-stabilizes the fixity of spatial and temporal coordinates. Being in the zone alludes to an experience of overflowing—to an experience that, unobstructed or unhampered by restrictions or disciplinary regimes, overflows.

Flow is the breakdown of boundaries between the self and other, the self and the world, inside and outside. Flow is interruption as well. Flows interrupt flows.

"The exhibition seeks to express the desire of flow; these artists capture “flow” with works that succeed in reconfiguring the boundaries between the work, its fictional space, and the world of experience. New constellations emerge, unsettling the distinction inside/ outside. The effect of flow is conveyed as the ebb and flow of information, nomadic systems, appropriated cultural memory bits, hybrid identities, and psychedelic scopic pleasure, movement, fluidity, interrupted and fissured."

And : The question of speed is important and also very complex. It doesn't mean the first in the race: you can be late through speed. Speed is to be caught in a becoming_ which is not a development or an evolution. One must be like a taxi, queue(ligne d'attente), line of flight, traffic jam, bottleneck, green and red lights, slightly paranoid,brushes with the police. To be an abstract and broken line, a zigzag which glides 'between'. The grass and speed. What you misnamed style just now_ charm or style_ is speed.

And :One only discovers worlds through a long, broken flight.

As for the method of deconstruction of texts I see clearly what it is, I admire it a lot, but it has nothing to do with my own method. I do not present myself as a commentator on texts.

For me, a text is merely a small cog in an extra-textual practice. It is not a question of commenting on the text by a method of deconstruction, or by a method of textual practice, or by other methods; it is a question of what use it has in an extra-textual practice that prolongs the text ..

How else?

How else can one write of those things which one doesn't know, or knows badly? It is precisely here that we imagine having something to say. We write only at the frontiers of our knowledge, at the border which separates our knowledge from our ignorance and transforms the one to the other.
Only in this manner are we resolved to write. To satisfy ignorance is to put off writing until tomorrow -or rather, to make it impossible. Perhaps writing was a relation to silence altogether more threatening that that, which is supposed to entertain with death.
