Taryn Simon: A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I-XVIII
Starts Oct 21 @
The Geffen Contempoary at MOCA until January 7th, 2013
The work is about the mapping of bloodlines through some interesting visuals such as portraits.
from pr release:
"Simon’s work is at once cohesive and arbitrary, mapping the relationships among chance, blood, and other components of fate. In contrast to the methodical ordering of a bloodline, the central elements of the stories—violence, resilience, corruption, and survival—disorient the highly structured appearance of the work. In all her work, Simon’s artistic medium consists of three equal elements: photography, text, and graphic design. Her works investigate the impossibility of absolute understanding and opens up the space between text and image, where disorientation occurs and ambiguity reigns."
