UPCOMING EXHIBITION

Sarah Horowitz
Artist-in-Residence

Artist Reception:
Friday, July 2nd 2010
6-9pm

Show runs through July 24th

Through her artist-in-residence at Em Space, Sarah Horowitz has focused on distilling the poems, images and aesthetic in her new artist’s book, Archeologies of Loss, into one simple form- the prospectus. Making a prospectus is a process of creating a balanced piece within a small limited format while evoking that of the original work it seeks to describe. Archaeologies of Loss deals with collective memories, their loss and disintegration but also their rediscovery and unearthing through individual histories, in this case, those of Sarah Lantz and her poems accompanied by etchings. It attempts to capture a lightness, a sense of space, as reflected in memories of desert winter landscapes—golden sun-bleached grass, charcoal woody stems, white snow, rust flowers. The book will be completed later this summer.
