"Mirrors"
January 23rd-February 6th 2010
The internet has dramatically increased the availability of
documentation of art produced and exhibited around the world. This
increase has corresponded with a new reliance on images as a means of
consuming art and art exhibitions. For many exhibitions, the audience
for the installation views outnumbers visitors to the venue itself. As
a result of this shift, the photographers who produce these images and
the institutions that edit them mediate our understanding and
experience of art.
Despite decades of art and criticism deflating the aura of objectivity
surrounding both institution and photograph, they continue to wield
substantial influence over how we see and read art exhibitions. What is
the role of the physical exhibition venue in the era of immaterial
reproduction?
This show subverts the traditional relationship between object,
exhibition and documentation, a relationship built on the economic
model of galleries and museums and objects for sale. Using photographs
of the exhibition site empty and images of artworks photographed
elsewhere, composite images are created as installation views of a
hypothetical exhibition. These composited installation images are then
distributed by the gallery’s website. The exhibit will
culminate in a projection of these images directly from the
gallery’s website within the gallery itself. This circular
presentation is meant to challenge the boundaries of where we locate
value in art. The institution, the first hand experience and digital
documentation are all melted into one, leaving the viewer to decide
where art took place.
