Dora Budor’s and Noah Barker’s collaborative practice emerges from their shared interest in cartographies of power and desire, in which the economic motives of development find a psychological resonance. The exhibition at n.b.k. is structured in two parts, both in terms of time and appearance. As a prelude to the premiere of their new video Monte Carlo Method taking place in November, a pairing of Budor’s Lifelike (2024) and Barker’s Juniper (2026) will be presented at the n.b.k Showroom in June. These works introduce the nature of their collaborative process – they meet on the grounds of a distorted state, conveying a sense of one’s own psychophysical infrastructure.

Dora Budor (*Croatia) and Noah Barker (*California) are artists based in New York. They have shown their collaborative video works among others at: mumok, Austria; MoMA PS1, New York; Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria; Simian, Copenhagen.
