The Moon & Stars Can Be Yours: Notes On Subway Psychics - MAGALI DUZANT

Taking a collection of psychic flyers found on the NYC Subway system as a starting point,The Moon & Stars Can Be Yours : Notes on Subway Psychics by Magali Duzant is a freewheeling and far roaming investigation into the contemporary world of spiritualism and psychics through archival images, aura photographs, and email fortune telling subscriptions. Designed by Elana Schlenker, published by Conveyor Editions.

Magali Duzant is an artist and writer working in NY and Zürich. Using photography, writing, time-based installations, and artist books, her work explores the ways in which we describe, inhabit, and share experiences on intimate scales both large and small. Publishing is a large part of her output, with projects ranging from newsprint zines to image-text publications that often revolve around themes related to the metaphysical, the natural world, and counterculture, viewed through a lens of humor, poetics, and romanticism. She has published artist books with Conveyor Editions and Seaton Street Press and her writing has appeared in LensCulture, Mercuria Magazine, and Prospect Journal amongst other venues.

Curated by Zoey Zhu, this collection of objects represent a ‘Wild Tech’ - unruly, fluid, and deeply textural. CCFC brings together artists who manipulate materials like silver, silicone, and flora to mimic the mysterious, wet textures of the subconscious. A cool metallic shell, cute in its organic vulnerability.

This is the new nature: soft, metallic, and beautifully chaotic. ‘Cool’ (aka. cold, clinical, and mysterious). ‘Cute’ (aka. vulnerable, organic, and soft). A fever dream where the hardware is melting, and the ego is leaking.
