Redress, 2015
Gorna Lipnitsa, Bulgaria - Artist Residency

Redress assumes that the damage, destruction, repair, and reconstruction of personal histories are simultaneous, ongoing processes. I worked with town historians and curators to take a local artifact (a 110 year old garment donated by the museum's curator) creating a ritualistic narrative. A tiny video projector hidden inside the dress projects a video onto the floor directly underneath. The dress itself casts out its own history of heroic repair after damage. The video may be viewed here or at the bottom of this page.

This piece went on a six-city tour of Bulgaria 2015. In 2016 the Old School residency presented all the work by residency artists between 2010 and 2016; more than 100 artworks by nearly 60 artists. The Land of the Endless August exhibition leads the viewer on a fascinating walk through the many years of artists from all over the world created within the abandoned former village school, now a thriving artist residency program.
