This process is antithetical to the “unsettled” or “unfinished” nature of Stein’s play and, in fact, to the radical nature of the aritsts' practices. Exhibitions are arrangements, and it is in no way strange to re-arrange their compositions, and thus make other arrangements for meaning to happen, in order to undo the exhibition’s authoritative frame.
