Visual Traces of Groups at Work: The Drawing Center 2008
Project Description: Site Specific, Time Based Installation:
On February 19th 2008, I took an inventory of what was happening in the exhibition space during install, and translated the results into a list and marks on the wall. Together with six volunteers observing surveillance footage, sound recordings and live notation of fleeting events like dragging, rolling, or leaning, steps taken, and hammer hits, while 'Spring Selections 2008' was being installed. I developed a comprehensive numbered list of VIsuaVIsuarepeating elements. The installation included a posted list, a smaller handout version, and one mark on the walls, floor and ceiling for each recorded event, of which there were thousands.
Visitors were invited to 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.
