8/30/2023 0 Comments My demon friend vivian![]() In popular astrology columns, the Pluto-in-Scorpio generation has been touted as a mystic rebranding of millennials, with social-media immersion recast as a drive to integration, to the synthesis of the plenum. Zodiacally speaking, Scorpio is the existential celestial mansion, signifying sex, death, and all manner of dark matter. To the Pluto-in-Scorpio generation that planet’s transit has added significance: Scorpio is Pluto’s favored home among the stars. Text in the Pluto-in-Scorpio approach is less “theory” and more “literature,” less prescription and more source material. Whereas the authors of choice for the Pluto-in-Libra generation included Jacques Rancière and Chantal Mouffe, Bycroft’s exhibition cites a heady mix of psychoanalytic feminism, medieval bestiaries, and Heraclitus. It is the creepily sharp teeth of an alien-head-like sculpture that hangs knee-high off the floor, suspended from a rope. The social is a ghost, or a demon, or a hummed pop tune. ![]() Sociality, as it appears in Bycroft’s artistic cosmos, rears its head in mythic form. ![]() What is convivial in Bycroft’s show is wholly different from the “social practice” art of the Pluto-in-Libras (born between 19) that was prominent in the early 2000s and 2010s, when the relational reigned supreme and galleries were filled with experiments in assembling, deliberating, and agonistic virtue. At 1646, viewers are ushered into an exhibition-world in which a life-size sloth slumps in a corner, the floor is covered in purple felt, plush, fringed couches have splintered off into factional units, and videos play on multiple screens. Bycroft’s work, by comparison, is intent to manifest audiences in or as painting and sculpture. Generationally, the 1980s and ’90s installation art of the Pluto-in-Virgo cohort (born between 19) constructed space with a nod to mediality, editing down ever more finely what differentiates “painting” from “sculpture,” for instance. The third of the non-visible planets-a “dwarf planet,” according to NASA-Pluto makes its way around the ecliptic once in about 250 years, and leads transformation through bracing encounters with totality: with all that is present but unseen. Pluto is the event-horizon of the zodiac. Visiting Madison Bycroft’s semiotically maximalist show “Gong Farmer, Shit Stirrer and the Maiden of Grief”-with its immersive fields of sculpture and smoke, furniture and video, combining the mundane and the mythic-I wonder whether the Pluto-in-Scorpios have landed in contemporary art as well. “The Pluto-in-Scorpio generation has landed,” remarked occultist and astrologer Austin Coppock, referring to the surge of conference attendees born between November 1983 and November 1995.
