Exhibition review by Joseph Clark for CAN Journal.

“I worry that, especially as the millennium edges nearer, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive.”- The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan (1995)

Jonas Sebura’s exhibition Confounded into Unitary Chaos explores the space between formal structures of civilization and primitive alchemy. Using geometric forms of diminishing scale and complexity, paired with invented ritual objects inspired by pseudo-scientific tools, Sebura employs objects that relate to landscape, the body, and the spiritual. The artist’s objects and research point to the question, “what if anything is there to believe in?” Pulling from a wide range of influences including the visionary works of St. EOM’s Pasaquan, and Emery Blagdon’s Healing Machine, the artist searches for the tangible by embracing the unfounded.
