AV: New Works by Andrea Fraser
Andrea Fraser鈥檚 work engages the institution of art and art institutions. Vanessa Place鈥檚 work interrogates notions of criminality and poetry. Language and sound figure into both of their practices as key investigative tools. Working from the disciplines of art and writing respectively, both employ existing tracts of text and reposition them in the context of art and performance. This exhibition presents new work by each artist in two sound installations in the Schindler House.
For AV, Fraser will attempt to activate some of the structural relations between museums and prisons as the bookend institutions of polarized neoliberal social space. Place debuts her installation, Last Words, about which she writes: 鈥淒eath is a sentence. Silently handed to each of us, spoken aloud to others.鈥� Both works prompt the viewer鈥攐r in this case, the listener鈥攖o ask questions about the notions of absence, presence, power, individuality, freedom, and subjectification.
