JUAN FERNÁNDEZ TIT—TYRANT
The exhibition’s title is borrowed from a real bird species native to islands of the South Pacific Ocean, and is a wink towards Ivor Cutler’s surreal ‘Boo Boo Bird’ song. It sets the mood for precise misnaming as a form of invention. In this spirit, the works don’t explain, they behave. Titles offer tonal cues, intimate, coded and palpably absurd. Together, they propose a landscape of material thinking where desire, care, and play — quietly and precisely — converge with impulse and intention. Each object becomes a small system of affect and illicit function, charged and fragile.
JUAN FERNÁNDEZ TIT-TYRANT is a solo exhibition staged by Izmaylov for the inaugural presentation by Petticoat Gallery in Basel.
