Decoherence
at LVL3

December 8, 2025 - January 25, 2026
Chicago, Illinois

LVL3 is excited to announce the two-person exhibition Decoherence, featuring the work of Edwin Hartlove (Chicago, IL), and Paula McLean (Toronto, ON). 

Each choice to be made in the present is informed by previous decisions that have come before. The trace inscribes itself in the object, production lingering as residue of form. With these marks in time, they are cemented as a point of reference, beckoning a response. Intimacy folds into control, vulnerability hardens into structure- the parergon holds and unfixes, a passage where memory materializes and dissolves, again, into structure. Accumulating into shape and form, the weight it holds comes to limit what it can and cannot be. Between absence and presence, a cleft: systems breathe against the body, pneumatic pressures shaping thought. Despite these pressures, choice becomes the moment that defines agency.
