Power Equals Work Over Time: Test Exhibition

Utilizing my “archival impulse”[1] I am continually and collaboratively developing a non-hierarchical archive of the region and its network of influences.  The archive serves as a point of access for the viewer and a point of departure for artistic productions that, when completed, are folded back into the archive from which they were inspired. Many of these artistic productions take the form of annotated photographic prints of scanned sites, video documentation of exploration through visual prosthetics, and augmentation of existing archival materials but the reincorporation of these into the archive inspires new combinations and paths of research.  This cyclical methodology of research and production facilitates an archive that is continually re-informed and reflexive.  is the presentation of a cross section of this archive.
