Prednisone by Endash
Eugene, OR / Los Angeles, CA / Detroit, MI
Acid Camp is excited to announce an extended release by Detroit-based artist Endash, Prednisone, available digitally on Bandcamp today, November 25, 2024.
A limited edition of 25 signed records by DISC_ARCHIVE are available for preorder, estimated to deliver March 2025.
The 23-minute extended play is a score from the artist’s film of the same title recently shown at the Mike Kelley Homestead via the Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit (MOCAD) in the show Word of Mouth (June 28-October 6, 2024).
The score is a collection of four new works that distort, slow, and layer the Gaelic folk song Dúlamán and Scottish-based Ossian’s Rory Dall's Sister's Lament (1984). Dúlamán sings of the tradition of gathering seaweed for food, bathing, and fertilizer. Rory Dall’s Sister’s Lament was originally published in 1778 by Daniel Dow as a Scottish hymn.
The film (17 minutes 15 seconds) explores how bodies translate anxiety into physical infections. It considers “narrative medicine” as a tool for healing psychosomatic pain and places it in conversation with Western medicine, which has often suppressed people’s—often queer people’s—ability to identify the roots of their wounds. It combines footage of landscapes with rotating horizon lines, pictures of a stress rash that appeared on the artist’s body in 2023, and childhood ephemera.
