"Pseudomorphose" at 10b


  • 10b Projects 10b Brookley Road Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130 United States (map)

Pseudomorphose is inspired by a neighbor I had years ago.

We didn’t speak the same language, but we were acutely aware of each other’s presence as we both managed, in our own ways, what energies were permitted to pass through the building’s common spaces.

Her rituals of caring for our space addressed things I couldn’t see, but I could feel their impact. This understanding—that important transformative processes can occur without being visible in any way—has unfolded on me more and more profoundly over time.

Inspired by my experience of her efforts, Pseudomorphose radically transforms 10b Projects in imperceptible ways.

Public events will consist of calm, quiet, 1:1 conversations; group exchanges reflecting on experiences of change and transformation; and opportunities for just being in the altered space.

Drop In hours on April 15th and April 22nd from 12:30pm-4:30pm and by appointment. Closing event on Sunday 30th from 2:29pm (the beginning of the day's moonrise) until dusk (8:13pm). See event details below.

Please join us at 10b Projects for the conclusion to Pseudomorphose, anytime between 2:29pm (the beginning of the day's moonrise) and 8:13pm (dusk) on April 30, 2023. For the month of April, Kapplow has been investigating the visibility/invisibility of the occurrence of change, altering the space of 10b subtly and powerfully so that it functions as an engine for implementing change.

On April 30th, there will be ongoing informal conversation about the nature of change, along with a variety of actions meant to close the (mostly invisible) labor that Kapplow has been engaged in. The event will also serve as a kind of psychic co-working space: If you have something that you have been trying to move from one state to another--a project, an attitude, society, a benchmark in your exercise routine--whatever, bring your work in progress with you and use the highly-charged-for-change space to amplify your efforts. Or to just literally do some work on your thing alongside others who are doing the same. Drop in any time. A bit before dusk, we may take a walk together, so if you come towards the end, wear shoes that you can walk in.
