Khio is a segmented space: artists are spread throughout the brick buildings, spending much of their time within subdivisions of small, materially-relevant groupings. The class of 2018 makes time for commiseration, collaboration, peer-teaching, and exchanges: this is a body with permeable cell-walls and DNA on a mission. Moan, a typically singular expression of passion or boredom, becomes something else when shared by a group. With personal motivations and a commitment to public consciousness, students bring their own ideas, histories, and subjects to their work. Conceptual material like architecture, taste, memory, the domestic, refuse and resource, political progress, cultural and personal histories, absurdity and function, span and flow in specific quantities within each project.

Specialism and mastery of material is another creative element specific to the individual. Some artists have invested in particular processes to their fullest potential, while others glean from a variety, both individualizing the final products to their aesthetic and drive. Here the qualities of the masterful and the novice have been equalized.

Moan offers the unique experience of a coming together, a pertinent dot on the timeline of 23 artist’s progression in a time of crucial development and community. This is a moment in which the artists show vulnerability, excitement, and deep-set interest in what is and what will be. This is a chorus of voices rising together, in pleasure, in empathy, in reaction.
