PRESS RELEASE

JORDAN STRAFER

MERCY NO NO

April 27 – June 3, 2023

Heidi presents MERCY NO NO, the first gallery show exhibition by New York based artist Jordan Strafer.

“I can admit to you that I fear death. Not that which we imagine about death, for such fear is its self imaginary. And not my death as it will be set down with a date in the public records. But that death I suffer every moment, the death of that voice, which out of the depths of my childhood, keeps questioning me as it does you: ‘Who am I?’ Everything in and around us seems to strangle it once and for all. Whenever that voice is silent… and it doesn’t speak often… I am an empty body — a perambulating carcass. I’m afraid that one day it will fall silent forever, or that it will speak too late!”
