For its third annual offsite project in Mexico City, Syndicate presents Onanism, a new short film, and suite of drawings from New York-based artist Keren Cytter.
Filmed in Central Park, Onanism presents a guided test of skill, intimacy, and social achievement. The exhibition includes drawings made in Cytter's Manhattan apartment displayed in the Hotelito's sitting room and screens the film in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Onanism (2019) had its debut showing last year as part of the film programme 'the} journey' at the MUMOK in Vienna AT and is shown here for the first time since.

Cytter collaborated with Syndicate last year for 'Sex is not an option' at Beverly's, New York US, as well as the text for Cytter / Roebas's contribution to the 2019 Jahresgaben exhibition at Kunstverein Düsseldorf, DE.
