MAIN Description of event.
The installation IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD, involves 30-50 live mice which run through a series of industrial Clear Schedule 40 PVC pipe hanging a few feet overhead and extending into the walls of the gallery. >
In a beautiful yet disturbing piece, BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, a struggling white lab mouse is gripped by a latex-gloved hand as a syringe hovers overhead. Another lush painting, MOUSE DESCENDING FICUS PUMILA (creeping fig), captures a moment of peaceful introspection, calm among chaos, as a small dark mouse negotiates a steep descent of a wall of vivid green ivy. In the minuteness of their focus these paintings tend to open up possibility rather than define it. They ask the viewer to look at the world more closely.
