She drives but really shouldn’t anymore, so I spent much of the time shuttling her around in her little KIA–the bank, the supermarket, visiting my cousin at my Aunt’s house. I did my talk and then spent a few nights in Decatur at her house. I used to visit my Abuela there every summer with my younger brother. I was trying very hard to visualize an abandoned plantation and remembered my grandmother -Īctually no, I went to give a talk in Atlanta in August 2019, and I hadn’t been there in a number of years. The Kudzu thing started as yet another joke in a way - or no, it was quite serious, when I was trying to write the play for the Hammer and thinking about the South. On the other hand, Dean’s interest in Kudzu lies in its potential parallels to blackness, a return to her past inquiries around the ontology of blackness as a sort of viral force, a system of meaning capable of reproducing itself and its own meaning structures without any ontological core. Though here, the parasite is, again, physically without a host. The system that the exhibition starts up models something similar to art, or a studio practice, cycling and recycling ideas and materials - but it models art as a structural parasite, necessarily territorializing everything around it to keep itself alive.

The exhibition creates a parasitic system without a host - or if there is a host, it is the white cube.
#Parasite city galery series
The ashes are placed back into the plexiglass cubes turned upright and shipped back to the artist to form a new series of sculptures. The plants grow until the final week of the show, and are then burned roots, soil planter and all.
#Parasite city galery windows
The plant will have a hyperconcentrated period of growth throughout the course of the exhibition timed for the start of spring with continuous access to light, natural through the windows and artificial from the lights. The wooden planters are encased in plexiglass cubes to prevent spore dispersion into the local ecosystem and positioned under grow lights, most commonly associated with the growth of marijuana. The only way to kill it for good is to burn it.įor the installation in ‘Studio Parasite,’ one of artist’s many works centering the vine, Dean designed two seedbeds, into which Kudzu sproutlings were recently transplanted, grown from seeds leading up to the exhibition’s opening.

The plant is also stress-tolerant and survives adverse climates with very low nitrogen levels. It can grow at about 30 centimeters per day in direct sunlight. Kudzu essentially smothers all other plant life and rather than supporting itself, grows on top of other objects - plants, infrastructure, powerlines, building etc. Now it forms a quintessential part of the landscape and the folklore of the ‘American South’. Since its original introduction into the region Kudzu has proliferated exponentially, creeping well beyond its intended purposes. In the south eastern United States, the plant grew exceptionally well, due to the parallels in humidity and heat levels to its native climate.

The leafy green vine blooms with sweet smelling purple flowers and was originally marketed as an ornamental way to shade porches and later was used industrially, as a cover plant preventing soil erosion, and as high-protein cattle fodder. The plant was brought intentionally to North America in the late 1800s for its aesthetic qualities and agricultural dexterity. Kudzu is a parasitic plant species, native to Asia but invasive to North America and Europe.
