Any Jackson Chaturanga presents:
Once they took it all, everything shall crumble and the sky will fall upon their heads. Until then, we sing, as we configure another reality with our words, and plead that what goes around, comes around. Fill the potatoes into the cracks in the wall, letting their fruit spread and break it from within. In the spring of 2025, at a visit to Berlin's so-called Humboldt Forum, something began. Traveling all the way from the colonially wealthy Hansestadt Bremen and its world-famous art school, a group around Any Jackson Chaturanga encountered unforeseen obstructions they found in their mouths. Struggling to form words under the blockage, suddenly a potato appeared! Hablar con la papa en la boca utters in the gaps between stolen things, in the shadows, in the difficulty of translating. On invitation by after the butcher, the group then lodged in the premises for 10 days in November 2025 to formulate said utterings in print, video and sculpture. A collective effort was met by many subjective hands. Exquisite corps rules to the game came in handy: Sculptures should not exceed 15x15x15 and can be passed around, a map fills the wall but consists of individual linocuts and other traces, a projection streams constantly but each video can be no longer than 1 minute.
