The future arrives in pieces. To build it, we must learn to recognize where it has already arrived. But to hold it requires the endurance of shared rituals. Noticing The Preconditions For ___________ is an experiment of durational correspondence between artists Romi Ron Morrison and Mimi Onuoha. In this iteration Noticing takes the form of an archive indexing various passing moments of care that each artist notices in their daily lives. The precarity and isolation of this past year has shown that we are living in the tension between two worlds, one that is desperately trying to reproduce itself and its power, and a new world not yet allowed to be born. In this gulf between what has been and what needs to be this piece was born
With Mimi Onuoha.
