…endless deferral of decision producing a statement proclaiming its own…

2010 | Text, Scrolling LED Screen | 150 cm X 10 cm

In response to an exhibition organized under the principle of a ‘flat hierarchy’, where all artists involved were to co-curate and co-determine a ‘common’ exhibition framework, this work addresses the problematics of such models in relation to decision-making (in particular how these organizational models have been usurped into corporate management spheres to ‘improve’ efficiency and communication). The structure of the sentence-fragment loops upon itself on the LED screen, producing a ‘content-less’ playing out of its rhetorical self-referentiality.
