Sound: Duane Linklater
<p>During the opening of Duane Linklater’s exhibition <em>mâcistan</em> on 28 November 2025, the performance <em>Supplies for the Soul</em> was acted out by three performers.</p> <p>Duane Linklater’s work and practice is grounded on an inspective inquiry on the foundations of institutions as they relate to the contemporary life and histories of Indigenous Peoples. His installations often employ paintings, sculptures, readymade objects, personal belongings, printed matter, images and symbols that he collects and accumulates. This process, linked to the concept of the cache – an enclosement, a safekeep – builds the core for a new body of work the artist presents in his exhibition at Secession.</p> <p>During the opening a live act unfolded. Performed by a singer, a guitarist and a drum set, the new score, or musical soundtrack, titled <em>Supplies for the Soul</em> echoes sonic memories tethered to the multifarious histories of community and powerful tenderness of reclaiming agency, art and institutions.</p>
