Can painting cause anything? If so what kind of things are they and how and where are they registered? Myth Material will consider painting via the specifics of working processes, strategies and materials, to pose questions around material rationality – as inherent in and performed through these – and what frames and grounds them [politically, contextually, physically]. 
 
Seven international painters interrogate the abductive, or speculative, thought of painting – how this thought may be hypothesized through the process, how it functions, and how it may relate to the production of affect.
 
Myth Material’s first entry point is a text Moran recently wrote for another painting exhibition, ‘Obscure Secure’, questioning what is meant by ‘intuition’ as an often cited major part of the making process for painters, and how it relates to perception and abstraction.
