- This ongoing project entails visiting art galleries, often during
the openings of exhibits, and exposing a petri dish to the air
in the space. The cultures are grown and then photographed under
a microscope yielding these results. The titles of the photographs
are generated simply by the name of the artist, the gallery and
the date.
Outside of a vacuum, empty space does not exist. Galleries attempt
neurtrality with their white walls, but every visitor and every
event which takes place in the space leaves its impression. Many
thoughts, questions, reactions, criticisms, anxieties, jealousies
are experienced in these spaces. I am investigating and making
visible the memory of such moments. The air holds the microscopic
mark of each event occurring in the space. We breath these in
and leave them behind ourselves. Quite literally, I am culturing
art (spaces) and documenting what grows.
