A citizen of one city must <em>unsee<\/em> (i.e., consciously erase from their mind or fade into the background) the people, buildings, &amp; events taking place in the other city \u2013 even if they are an inch away. This separation is emphasised by the style of clothing, architecture, gait, &amp; the way denizens of each city generally carry themselves.\r\n\r\n<em>The Show &amp; the Show<\/em> transfers this idea to the domain of art by staging two shows that are simultaneously conterminous &amp; contemporaneous; i.e., two shows taking place in the same space at the same time. The <em>unseeing<\/em> is contingent upon the viewer, &amp; manifests as the act of blinking. The separation of the two shows is emphasised by the genre, technique, &amp; chronology of the artworks. A common <em>spacetime<\/em> permeates.\r\n\r\nThe first photograph was the blink. This interruption of sight, of perspectival and\r\nbinocular vision, also created the afterimage. <em>The Show &amp; the Show<\/em> posits the blink as the birth of montage.\r\n\r\nFeaturing writings &amp; artwork by Brud, Aga Szwengier, Claude Heiland-Allen, Ewa Polska, Howard Rheingold, Inspector General Indigenous Genitalman, Joanna Rajkowska, Juan-Pablo Villegas Delgado, Kamil Julian, Oddity Medium, Oscar Pabon Abraham Morales, <em>Proceedings of the Ciscaucasus Xabarnama<\/em>, Richard Barbrook &amp; Andy Cameron, Robert Kusmirowski, Valentino Braitenberg, Vilem Flusser, &amp; Walter Scott, et al."}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=12943"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=12943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
