“Act so there is no use in a center.” (Stein, Tender Buttons, 63)
So what does this arrangement look like? Looking is one way of understanding composition, just as rhythm is a possible entry into time. Both are integral to the still life genre, especially Stein’s still life genre (time is an integral aspect of drama). To include what is seen as well as what is said and heard especially without memory, especially without the memory of curating and the memory in curating. This is an exhibition that is curatorial-ly compositional: change the verb to an adverb and see what there is to see. So we shall see.
