Overview

...contingency, the operator…
With Toby Christian, Susan Morris, Hendl Helen Mirra, Peter Downsbrough, Joëlle Tuerlinckx

Contingency is a state of potential, where things could turn out otherwise. Chance may be the outcome of a procedure, like throwing dice. The work of art becomes an 'operation'. During Mallarmé's speculative book performance, an 'operator' was to place pages at random on the shelves of a lacquer cabinet. Might the art work achieve a condition of necessity without abolishing chance?'

After Mallarmé is curated by Michael Newman.
