RECORDS PLAYED BACKWARDS Curated by Daniel Baumann
Seth Price's texts on music and production technologies are scientific and imitate scientific language, they are parodies and reproduce the language of parody, they are journalistic and use its rhetoric, and maybe, they are poetry. Michael S. Riedel uses the space that inescapably opens through transcription and re-staging (when filmed films are projected, recorded lectures are repeated, "clubbed clubs" are opened, exhibited exhibitions are installed, performed performances are presented). Céline Duval orders private photographs according to arbitrary formal decisions and publishes them as an ongoing one-page magazine. Anne Collier's clinical, deadpan photographs draw on the legacy of West Coast Conceptual and Minimalist art, which she inflects with her own particular neuroses (according to the Whitney Biennial homepage). Matias Faldbakken turns a small empty space on a page of a journal into a big wallpaper, a gesture that is as loaded as ridiculous, but the wallpaper looks perfectly good. John Armleder has produced Furniture Sculptures since 1980 (and filmed his friend walking backwards into movie theaters as if the film runs the wrong way). Imperio is the Mexican remake of Andy Warhol's film Empire by Reena Spaulings, Bernadette Corporation, and Claire Fontaine, a collective work of the three fictitious women artist's collectives. Film Montages (for Peter Roehr) by William E. Jones takes simple repetition as its first principle and arranges fragments of gay porn films into a musical composition. The re-use of existing material is, naturally, as old as everything, although that's not what this show is about; it's about dissolution, stuttering and the space that opens up when a language, a gesture, a picture, a film is duplicated to produce a terrain where sense becomes a wet soap, when transcriptions and repetitions create gaps and ruins that become places for thwarted expectations, elegant encounters and new forms of display, distribution and misunderstanding.
