Abstract
The series Lapse (I-V) responds to the city and port of Mobile as a site of exchange, colonial histories, and arrivals and departures. The works query the porosity of borders and bodies, and of the infrastructures that hold both. The fluidity of bodies—political, social, ecological, biological—is evoked through the simple forms in Lapse (I-V) which might stand in for pipes, clothed figures, or tenous columns. The use of Concrete Canvas—a sustainable alternative to mixing concrete for applications such as irrigation and erosion control—combined with a process of forming that relies on tying, folding, rolling, and draping before curing and setting, formalizes this intersection of body and infrastructure (or, body-as-infrastructure). The works confront the impossibility of bordering as a stable and fixed (im)position and instead gesture toward the moments when such bodies lapse into and out of one another, when they might become unstable, leak, or spill over. \n \nIn Borderwaters, Alabama Contemporary Art Center \nThe phrase “American border” typically conjures up the land-based geopolitical boundaries of the contiguous United States, usually concerning the U.S.-Canada and, more frequently, U.S.-Mexico border. The artists in this exhibition contest such continental connotations, reconceptualizing U.S. boundaries as borderwaters. Their projects emphasize the shorelines of the U.S. and its island regions; the historical and contemporary significance of waterways—ranging from inland rivers to international oceanic passages—and their inextricable linkage with colonialist, imperialist U.S. policies; and the ecological inseparability of waterways that ensures changes in one area’s borderwaters have global effects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
