@CoryIntheAbyss on ‘Memes as Practice’
In the aftermath of “Yacht Metaphor,” an online and Bard College-hosted solo exhibition, Jenson Leonard delves into his process with curator Georgie Payne. During the exchange Leonard details his work as @CoryIntheAbyss, where he has embraced internet vernacular—‘poor’ images, virality—since 2015. Notably, he describes the exhibition’s “meme schematic” feature, which gives the viewer something they never get on everyday social media: an opportunity to “look under the hood” of his images via a didactic explanation of the references at play.
