AN INCONSISTENT TRIAD
Opening May 23
Newburgh, New York
Thank you again and again @visit__net for inviting me to exhibit and curate with you!
@genevieve_goffman and @iso.muein are artists who inspire me hugelyyy! There’s a density and sincerity to their work. So many subtle layers of stories, mythology and secrets... And humming n shifting lines of connection between all the works in the show. Yum yum Art in a beautiful room.
Join us for the opening upstate on May 23rd! There will be drinks, there will be revelling, and there may also be a trip to Dia Beacon earlier that day (when in Rome etc etc). All fun and beautiful and good.

ETHEREALITY {the_no_place_limbo_emptyempty} at Everard Read Gallery, Cape Town.
Here is the invisible non-boundary {::_create transition_ 𝟥𝟨𝟢° 𝘎𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘳::} between technology, identity, and speculative futures. Across sculpture, analogue interactive works, and painterly digital landscapes, the exhibition presents tools, environments, secrets and symbols that challenge conventional materiality. ////#hello #digital #hello #real #hello #real #reality #hello #ether #heaven #goodbye #body #goodbyemetalbody
Resin-cast Acheulean tools embedded with machine fragments reimagine history through a posthuman lens, while reflective chrome sculptures incorporate airplane parts and digital glyphs to create phantom hyperlinked architectures. “Encrypted” ASCII letters abstract a nud3 selfie into a symbolic language, interrogating privacy and visibility in a hypermediated, hypertextual world.

____________________
Ruby Bailey works across film, digital media, paint, sculpture, and installation. Her work draws from two source streams held in tension: contemporary screen life and the physical world. She collects internet-native iconography and screen-derived marks alongside shapes derived from nature, her drawings, photographs, and diary entries. Over time these sources have formed a personal visual language, built from recurring signs and symbols such as her digital avatar L00bi, airplanes, grass, water, and cursors. This language lets her stage disclosure with precision. Diary language becomes floating text. Photographs are redrawn into simplified shapes. ASCII translation, embedded visual codes, and font-based masking set up a push and pull between vulnerability and secrecy, where confession becomes a practical problem of access, legibility, and risk. Two ongoing worlds structure the practice. Loobtopia concentrates visibility through dense, high-saturation composition. Ethereality is a reduced-color “nothingland” of haze and constraint, where loneliness and longing settle into a muted sublime.
Bailey is from South Africa and is based between South Africa and New York City. She has exhibited internationally, including in London, Berlin, Dubai, New York, and Hong Kong.

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
Segui gli aggiornamenti di Instagram discretamente proteggendo la tua privacy e restando anonimo.
Guarda profili e foto in modo anonimo facilmente usando il Visualizzatore di profili privati.
Questo strumento gratuito ti permette di visualizzare le storie di Instagram in modo anonimo, garantendo che la tua attività rimanga nascosta dall'utente che carica la storia.
Anonstories consente agli utenti di guardare le storie di Instagram senza avvisare il creatore.
Funziona senza problemi su iOS, Android, Windows, macOS e browser moderni come Chrome e Safari.
Garantisce una navigazione sicura e anonima senza richiedere credenziali di accesso.
Gli utenti possono visualizzare storie pubbliche semplicemente inserendo un nome utente—nessun account richiesto.
Scarica foto (JPEG) e video (MP4) facilmente.
Il servizio è gratuito.
Il contenuto degli account privati è accessibile solo ai follower.
I file sono destinati solo a uso personale o educativo e devono rispettare le normative sul copyright.
Inserisci un nome utente pubblico per visualizzare o scaricare storie. Il servizio genera link diretti per salvare i contenuti localmente.
