Art You Can Believe In @The Brooklyn Rail
Eric Triantafillou writes a great essay in this month’s Brooklyn Rail about Signs of Change @Exit Art:
“I’m not advocating we stop mounting shows like Signs of Change in order to sit around and think about how to mount shows like this. Our practices – the process of putting this exhibition together and the work in it – are, as the curators have said, a site for thought, a beginning. If it maintains a self-reflective component, active experimentation can be a form of thinking and rethinking. But constant doing sometimes precludes us from ever really asking certain questions, questions that would necessarily place more value on certain ideas and actions and less on others. It is when we become trapped in doing – in a compulsion to act, then to affirm that act with more of the same – places us at risk of making history rhyme.”
