"Stability is a concept best left in the 20th century," she said, sat in the amber glow of a designer filament light. She appeared cavalier but inside she was paralyzed by the freedom, by the possibility of a future where there was nothing before.

FORGET

All anyone wants to do these days is "disrupt". What do we throw ourselves at when everything has fallen apart? Where do you put your heart when her SnapChats stop filling your inbox?

For his exhibition at Retrospective, and the second act of his extended project WILD FUSION, Manning will present a new series of paintings, videos and installations addressing the problems of navigating a networked world constantly and increasingly in flux. Manning lives and works in Los Angeles.

The exhibition will run concurrently with an exhibition by Gina Beavers at 727 Warren St.
