That’s the world I’m going to send you to!

Well Projects is excited to present ‘Thatʼs the world Iʼm going to send you to!ʼ, a solo exhibition by artist Joe Moss. In ‘Thatʼs the world Iʼm going to send you to!ʼ Moss presents seven new works that bind together fragments of marble mosaic, cut cardboard, 3D printed miniatures and the detritus of recycled artworks in an armature of aluminium V-slot. The works expose their own constituent (and often contrasting) material histories, forming eerily disjointed yet harmonious temporal composites. The central figure within the exhibition is that of two digitally rendered avatars, recast and given mass in a Roman style monochromatic mosaic, that appear to have fallen through each other, their worlds folding inward to form a single interwoven entity. This merging of multiple contexts and materialities carries through to the other works in the exhibition as they appear as waypoints on a compressed timeline of stratigraphic interiors and ancient protective symbols. The exhibition builds upon a growing body of mosaic works and presents a new iteration of Mossʼ ongoing interest in the proliferation of contemporary experience, one of hyper-productivity, intangibility and the immediacy of information. It unites the material that is everywhere and always moving, the cultural tokens, symbols and icons that are without weight, with slower, more weighty processes - specifically that of the density and constancy of mosaic. ‘Thatʼs the world Iʼm going to send you to!ʼ is a quote from Ultimecia, the main antagonist in Final Fantasy VIII, who threatens to compress all of time and space into a single moment.
