The Drawing Center: Visual Traces of Groups at Work                       h a n n a h    b u r r



       Project Description:
On February 19th, I sat, observed and recorded the installation process of 'Spring Selection 2008' at the Drawing Center. With the help of volunteers working with video and audio recordings of the same time and place, I developed a comprehensive numbered list of all repeating elements: events, movement, interaction, smells, sounds.

I posted this list and the explanation below, and then made the installation you see here.

Hannah Burr and volunteers observed seven hours of the installation of this exhibition on February 18th 2008 via video, audio and live.

Refer to the listed item number to find its corresponding mark on the walls and floor. The mark appears as many times as the event itself occurred. Actions are collective for everyone present.

This list is available at the front desk - please take one.
