A Debut Exhibition by Reign.925 (Jet Le Parti & L.S. Toy)
Opening: October 25, 2025
“We just made the work. There’s nothing more to it.”
This quiet, semi-ironic phrase—echoed by both artists—forms the ethos of Reign.925, a collaboration between Jet Le Parti and L.S. Toy. Their debut exhibition, Termination Notice., is neither a call for revolution nor a cry for salvation. It is an index of collapse—of meaning, of representation, of the structures that once gave coherence to art, identity, and the body politic.
Drawing heavily on the conceptual frameworks of Jean Baudrillard and rooted in a Heideggerian concern with being, Termination Notice. confronts the absurdity of expressive intent in an age where signs outpace substance and presence is divorced from meaning. As Baudrillard observes, “things themselves rebel against decipherment—or perhaps we no longer wish to decipher them.” In this exhibition, such rebellion is enacted across mediums: painting, sculpture, photography, sound, post-performance, and militarized aesthetics—each piece saturated with intent, yet deliberately undecipherable without the presence of its originator. The work speaks fluently, but without translation.
The duo’s name—Reign.925—functions as a conceptual paradox in itself. “Reign” evokes control, dominance, and imposed structure; “.925,” the hallmark of sterling silver, reflects both authenticity and commercial value. Their collaboration interrogates how power, value, and cultural capital are circulated, laundered, and staged—particularly within the art world, a space that mirrors the very systems it often claims to critique.
In Termination Notice., Le Parti and Toy merge their previously distinct practices into hybrid works that fracture and blur authorial voice. Toy, with a background in economics and conceptual systems, operates like a tactician—deploying aesthetic minimalism as strategic critique, transforming data, militarism, and administrative language into sculptural gestures. Le Parti, trained through experience and intuition, brings poetic violence to the collaboration—his works are sonically and visually textured, often marked by fragmentation, memory, and existential grief. Together, they produce a disjunctive but coherent logic: a post-art environment haunted by conflict, gesture, and ghost data.
These are not works that demand decoding. They exist precisely at the moment where the desire to communicate breaks down under the awareness that nothing need be said, yet must still be made. As noted in The Ecstasy of Communication, graffiti once bore names—I exist, my name is… Today, the marks are cryptic, undecipherable, but still insist: I exist. The artists’ practice echoes this shift: meaning has collapsed, but the work continues—not out of faith in redemption, but from an irreversible momentum toward presence.
In this terrain, the personal is no longer political—it is infrastructural. War becomes ambient. The body becomes a cipher. The artist, once subject or savior, now functions as mirror—reflecting systems until they glitch. As Borges wrote, when the conquered begin to no longer resemble the conquerors, they break the mirror and invade the empire. Termination Notice. exists in that speculative interval, between collapse and arrival, irony and mourning, presence and playback.
It is not a demand, nor a farewell. It is a memo.
A record of a world that no longer needs art to mean anything in order for it to be made—and a dispatch from two artists who work outside the need for recognition.
