"Gemma Topliss’s paper examines crushing as both an intensely desiring psychic state as well as a violent force, with applications for post-conceptual sculptural, painting, and installation practice. It draws on an eccentric array of sources, from Anne Carson’s Eros the Bittersweet to “Bifo” Berardi’s Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide, and features an extended meditation on crushing in the work of Lutz Bacher."
