Reading and Smoking: Candice Lin and Patrick Staff on the Malleable Body
“We want to in- and ex-hale a fine mist. Feel smoke soak every part and become a part of all. Make your eyes water. What are the effect of clouds on the gendered body during ‘an era of extinctions, loss, shock, reassessment, and disorientation’”? Candice Lin and Patrick Staff discuss ideas related to Hormonal Fog, their work in the Walker-organized exhibition, The Body Electric, now on view at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
