He wins every time, on time and under budget is Cally Spooner’s second show at gb agency. For the show she is presenting a number of new works, that relate to a wider project she is working on called "On False Tears and Outsourcing".
“On False Tears and Outsourcing” was initiated in 2015 at Vleeshal Markt, Middelburg, the Netherlands. A source for the project is Gustave Flaubert’s 1856 novel Madame Bovary, in which Emma Bovary’s lover, Rodolphe Boulanger de la Huchette signs his farewell letter to her with a false tear, a drop of water from his drinking glass. Spooner takes this passage and Rodolphe's water-stained paperwork as the starting point in an examination of a broad/ expanded definition of outsourcing today: as the delegation of one's expressions and desires to sterile language. This language being engineered by institutional / industrial bodies outside of one's own body, in order that those external bodies might manage, control and, probably (accidentally), erode life.
Cally Spooner's work is presented in the group show "Faisons de l'inconnu un allié" at Lafayette Anticipation, Paris up to the 23rd October. She will present a performance at Fiac on Sunday 23rd October at 5pm in the auditorium of Grand Palais.
She will be part of the group show "Time-Lines" presented by gb agency at Régence Independent in Bruxelles from 27 October till 17 December and Biennale de l'Image en Mouvement, Geneva from 9 November till 27 January 2017.

Opening : Saturday, October 15th from 4pm to 8pm
