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.
