Stein called her plays plays and we wouldn’t necessarily recognize them as plays otherwise. She also called plays landscapesand her poetry portraits. Liddington calls his sculptures still lives and Terrarea calls their actions a score and I call curating dramaturgy and rehearsals exhibitions. The still life is no longer a tableau. It is because one genre can resemble another in approach and form that their connections become relations-in-arrangement and objects of compositional form. But this is just the beginning. This exhibition does its thinking in real-time. Connections between the artist’s work and their techniques reveal themselves as they do do.
