"A china teacup falls from the sky, shatters on the ground, reconstitutes itself, breaks again, more slowly, then again, faster, then again and again, until a music emerges-or rather, is coerced-from breaking this teacup down, transforming it into sound and image, making it give of itself in a way it was never meant to. What is it about this obsessed-over, meticulously planned catastrophe? Mustn't we always, and vigilantly, put our manners, our beauty, our desires, our privilege to the test, and find what endures?"

- Neill Prewitt, Block2 Curator
