Malcolm Peacock
Breathing Exercises

Over the course of the exhibition, Malcolm Peacock will complete one hour long breathing exercises in the gallery during sunrise. Individuals from the public will be invited to participate on an individual basis via registration. Desiring to create grounds of intimate exchange between black subjects, Peacock will utter the names of those brought forth by black individuals through online prayer requests during these exercises.

Let me
Let me face you
Let me
Let me see you
In that moment
No one sees you

Let me
Let me lighten
What is breaking
Your chest

Let me
Let me hold it
Let me
Let me let you
Let go

Let me
Let me see you
Spread the weight
Throughout my bones
