Bronco

Breathers, a solo exhibition by Matthew Ferguson, begins with a single object: an Orcon WTU-2000-EC-E mechanical ventilation unit. Constantly running, it moves air through the building, maintaining the conditions that allow everything else to occur.

From this starting point, the exhibition is created through a layering of works and actions: an unofficial reconstruction of Charlotte Posenenske’s DW Series, performance routes that loop through and beyond the building, temporary arrangements of materials, and shared events.

Together, these elements explore how systems of air, labour, and attention shape one another. Rather than fixed objects, the works operate as processes, circulating, adjusting, and maintaining.
