POSTCOLUMN

An American interpretation of the Greek orders are facades for a violent history of exploited labor, endlessly and carelessly re-enacted to establish its artificiality into second nature. Neo-classical columns are specters of the cynegetic power in built form—a constant haunt of the manhunt for the black body made into nonhuman capital. Following the tradition of black radical theory that engages with the paradox of object-subject as a key feature of blackness, Postcolumn is a manufactured ruin—employing CNC ornamentation on a psuedo-stone material—to materialize the inflection point where the decline of the American Empire narrative meets the incline of emancipated otherness.
