Exhibition Guide

[Adjacent freestanding walls open to an art gallery, one white and the other with its wood backing exposed. On the white wall hangs a vertical black sheet of paper with overlapping publication ephemera, family photos, and geometric shapes. On a parallel gallery wall hangs another vertical black sheet with more layered images. Beyond this, a monitor leans against another parallel wall and shows the black and white image of a white man in glasses.]

Untitled (1994 amber press)[A vertical black paper sheet with frayed edges and a series of black and white anatomical drawings and infographic wheels, semicircles, scales, and charts. Two vertical, sideways snapshots of a father and child and mother and child at the center of the frame overlap the infographics.]

Untitled (left, forward, front, above)[A vertical black paper sheet with frayed edges and a collaged white sheet arranged in its upper left corner containing infographics, a world map, and a skeleton sketch. A color image of a house with brown panels and white-frame windows overlaps the infographics. Offset from the white sheet, a trio of color photos from different angles show a ceramic pot with a short, floppy neck.]

Untitled (Saturday, October 16, 1993), 2015[A horizontal monitor leaning against a gallery wall shows a man in a shirt and tie with reporters shoving microphones in his face.]

Left: Untitled (messages volume one)Middle: Untitled (body-soul connections)Right: Untitled (dimensions, dimensional)[A row of vertical black sheets of paper on a gallery wall. On each black sheet, infographic white sheets intermingle with color snapshots of families, pets, and home interiors.]

Untitled (virtues, laws and powers)[A vertical black sheet of paper with frayed edges and two vertical white sheets arranged side by side on it. The left sheet depicts a grid of numbered looping and darting line drawings, and the right sheet depicts a numbered list with the heading "VIRTUES." In the bottom right corner, distanced from the white sheets, a father holds his baby on his shoulder in a small, color photo.]

[Installation view of freestanding, adjacent white gallery walls with an opening for visitors to enter. One wall shows a projection of a sunlit playground with a toy tractor sitting at the base of a slide. On the adjacent wall hang two vertical, black sheets of paper with white sheets and color photos beside and overlapping one another. Left of the black sheets and through the opening, another black sheet peaks from behind the wall. A wooden bench sits in the center room, facing the projection.]

Untitled (with my father)[A projection on a freestanding white gallery wall of a child's colorful drawing of a person with yellow hair and a purple skirt. The drawing lays on top of shuffled white sheets with infographic line drawings. A wooden bench sits in the space in front of the projection.]

Untitled (after the seminar room)[An installation view of a freestanding gallery wall with its wood backing and support structures exposed. To the right of the wall is a clear walkway illuminated by track lights. To the left, a wooden bench sits in front of a gallery wall with a projection of shuffled papers. Adjacent to the projection, an opening for visitors to pass through reveals a black sheet of paper hung on the wall behind it.]
