Working with the idea of the 'Slur' Jason's work unpacks the inarticulate slurry of language around us. Based on the artist's personal experience with aphasic language, and desires to 'decategorise' in his practice. The lecture touches on a range of topics, from his collection of waves smashing into architecture, the 'hyperliquidity' of financial markets, chopped and screwed music, the artistic and curatorial methods of slurring that underly the exhibition formats at Shimmer, to the projects in the hallways of UNESCO. The slur, our thick tongue, that undefined slippery mess is proposed as the wet-media of the studio. Artistic practice that slips past attempts of containments so often the driver in cultural, academic and social standardisation are rethought as a liquid coming together.
