MONOGAMY KILLS

Jason Morris Danino Holt is opening a lifestyle brand named “Monogamy Kills” inspired by the male gaze on the male body, museum shops, dark rooms, and high-end fashion boutiques.

In the store, one will find beddings, shower curtains, towels, pillows, underwear, hats, t-shirts, books, mugs, phone cases, posters, and a few more surprises. All based on visual works by the artist.

This store is an intimate performative experience meant to create the most custom-made cart for each client - based on the ancient tradition of the human bond between a wallet and a salesperson.

Therefore it is advised to book an advance a time slot for your visit.

One can also walk in and wait for the next availability. Don't worry though, we have a waiting room. It's kinky. And there’s beer. For free.

Exhibition Season: Present Continuous

Monogamy Kills is the fifth exhibition of the 2021 exhibition season, dedicated to the theme: Present Continuous. This year’s exhibition season will focus on our sense of reality, which was upended in the beginning of 2020, when competing forces of slowdown and momentum began acting simultaneously, distorting our sense of space and time. Since we were rendered incapable of comprehending the present or planning the future, we were compelled to exercise resilience, to develop coping mechanisms and to break free from old habits and paradigms – to learn to move continuously in the present continuous tense.

 The members of the Alfred Cooperative have invited artists to propose exhibitions which address the theme “Present Continuous”, either through artistic interpretation or through physical acts that echo into the future. The objective is to present artistic endeavours centered around uncertainty as a guiding principle - ideas that make use of rules and internal logic which impact on the progression and meaning of the exhibition; exhibitions that address issues of uncertainty with respect to the exhibition space or the timeframe of the exhibition and encourage live events held simultaneously in both the physical space of the gallery and the virtual space.
