NYAB Event - "And so on, and so on, and so on" Exhibition

"And so on, and so on, and so on" Exhibition

Harris Lieberman

This event has ended.

This group exhibition focuses on the stutter, on repeating one's self, on stammering and states of fixation, reflux, redundancy, feedback...redoing, remaking, repeating, re-saying...on having something stuck in one's head or one's throat. All in all, a simple set of questions: when is enough enough? How many times must something be said before it has truly been said? What does it mean for an artist to repeat, redo, remake?

The show will present works that resist traditional notions of progress, newness and original expression. The question here revolves around the utterance, and the difference between origin and originality when (near-) identical thoughts (or images) are repeated...or picked up and voiced by another. Also at issue are the distinctions born on the lines between quotation, paraphrasing, and plagiarism.

Rather than operating as static reclamations of historical matter, these strategies consider the way an utterance, when repeated, can harmonize and generate new meanings...how, following Delacroix, “what has already been said has still not been said enough.
