Exploring Positions in Compositions
Restoring some of the oldest cups in the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Grange House Collection back to their intended use, Borsato orchestrated a tea service with invited guests, including the conservators, who washed the dishes before and after this extraordinary event.
But even though there are works that make reference to actual objects in the play (such as a tea cup), works in this exhibition are not intended to be illustrative: this text, like the exhibition itself, is merely a “system to pointing” (Tender Buttons,) not a system of pointing. Rehearsals allow us to explore the range of pointing but not of pinpointing the position of meaning: neither in the exhibition, nor the play.
