What if we could design mechanical movements as simply as drawing on paper? LINKKI was born in response to this question as a tool for designing movements. Connecting two bars with a set of assembly clips makes a basic unit of linkage, from which you can expand as far as to a very complex mechanism.

The exhibition is titled Potentially Yours, The Coming Community and will be a group show comprising a variety of works that provoke an upending or a disrupting of familiar and popular understandings of ‘potential’. If, as Sven Lütticken writes, contemporary capitalism encourages us to ‘realise our potential’, my interest is in how we can wrest the word from this rhetoric of self-optimisation and productivity, and how it can be approached more critically and more imaginatively. I’d been looking at most of the artists in the show for a while before the chosen work started to slowly coalesce around the current premise.

A lot of my thinking was inspired by Giorgio Agamben’s writing on potentiality, part of which examines the utterance ‘I’d prefer not to’ by the central character in Herman Melville’s Bartleby.
