“SPACORE,” a group show curated by Serena JV Elston and Rudolf Lingens, is anarchically funny. Currently up at Co-Prosperity, the exhibition’s 45 artists utilize humor to reveal the hollow white supremacist capitalist fantasies that uphold the personal wellness industry. Through the collective’s desire to “situate wellness within the horror genre,” they present a model of group-making and pointed critique that pulls the wax strip off of capitalism’s plucked, primped, and necrotic vision of life.
Throughout the space, visitors can find a check-in station for “SPACORE” services, where they let the collective know their credit card numbers, sexual histories, and biggest secrets; a shrine to a dead employee of a month; and a mise-en-scene of a midwestern wine mom’s kitchen, where people mimic chopping off their fingers alongside “SPACORE”’s explicit instructions to take a selfie of the scene and send it to your boss to receive a long, overdue day off.
