Echo Gone Wrong

When Colin De Land (1955–2003), founder and director of American Fine Arts, Co., was asked “why the gallery did not produce press releases, and he explained that there was a very small window of time in which the visual work of art is experienced before this perception is inevitably shaped by language, and this window should be kept open as long as possible: that we should resist prematurely foreclosing the meaning derived from the visual, resisting as long as possible channeling the viewer’s experience through the strictures of language”. (Jackie McAllister, August 2003).

A voice (off): To the North, nothing.
To the South, nothing.
To the East, nothing.
To the West, nothing.
In the centre, nothing.
The curtain falls. End of Act One
(Georges Perec, 1974)
