Railing Codex
An interactive exhibition by PararailingJuly 11 to 21, 2024
Opening reception: Thursday July 11, 6-8pm
Railing Codex is an installation, a community printshop, and a collective dictionary created by Pararailing (Jie Shao, Sixing Xu and Xuecan Ye), their friends, and friends of their friends. Launched in 2022 as a response to the slippage of meaning that marks our post-pandemic world, Railing Codex invites cultural practitioners—artists, curators, writers, poets, scholars, and arts workers—to each contribute a dictionary definition for a word. The exhibition at 601Artspace will bring the first three volumes of Railing Codex into a physical space: each entry is presented as a self-inking stamp, and viewers are invited to create their own prints and montages of meaning. Come make one.
