Algerian White
Shudder Gallery, 9pm, 2011
A collection of passages around Algeria are written and erased from a wall. Complementing the excerpts and their erasure, gestures and their inversions are performed. These actions reflect the process of recording and losing history. What remains after this nullifying process is as ineffable and impractical as research, remembrance, and other such practices that attempt to find and preserve knowledge.
