In a large iridescent origin story painting, Communist apartment blocks similar to Kafchin’s own birthplace cradle a rainbow sky threaded with intoxicating condensation trails, ones similar to those just above Nicodim Gallery. Kafchin’s own journey into transitory biologies is frequently referenced and in another large canvas we see the interior voyage that changed her physical course, a divine union of selves male and female. The white walls of Nicodim Gallery are imbued with the living tension of the artist’s mark, rendering additional aspects of our journey within the space and extending the narrative of her canvases to infect the physical planes of the gallery. Bricolage statues of transhumanist robots stand tall with wooden sinew and ornamental design. These are avatars for the next step in our evolutionary chain and sculptures that physicalize the population of our undiscovered land. For Kafchin these figures represent a grotesque perfection that our terrestrial bodies can’t yet imagine but are in effect portraits of future humankind.

Mi Kafchin is a fearless explorer, a psychonaut, a crystal child and a world-builder. She is someone who can see clearly without the inhibitions of critical thinking. This is vision in its greatest states of divine and delusional. This avant-garde space for thought is one that has grown uncontrollably online to become something greater than popular logic can restrain. Kafchin has become this realm’s de facto cultural ambassador. Throughout her numerous installations in museums and galleries worldwide, there is always the effort to fully immerse the viewer into her world both physically and conceptually. Accepting mysteries of chance and not-knowingness always plays an important role towards suspending belief and forcing open the gateways to alternate worlds. For this installation she will offer us all the gift of avant-tourism: an invitation to see a cosmology of the unknown and traverse its majestic lands.
