Performing for the duration of 16 days the artists of  Fly on a Wall, Nicole Johnson, Jimmy Joyner, and Sean Hilton, will process unseen forces (time, feeling, memory, indescribable existence, etc) to create a catalogue of daily manifestations. This process will be performed as solos, duets, and trios amongst the artists in Gallery 3 at MINT in the hopes of charting courses of possibility. The work is employed as an 16 day ritual without pinnacle that is focused on a patient practice whose meaning reveals itself retroactively at it’s culmination.

Each daily process will be collected in various forms and stored on a USB thumb drive, which will be collected in a card catalogue just outside of the gallery. Audiences will be able to view the work in the gallery and cross reference the work with the USB thumb drive that correlates to each piece by date using a computer located near the card catalogue. This non-linear form of viewing the work frees up time and space to create meaning as a process, rather than a destination.
