SI Lounge | Zoe Leonard

Tue Jan 14—Sat Feb 15 2003

The minor occurrence is given a moment's importance, as with Zoe Leonard's photographs, which depict the urban mystery of plastic bags, caught and blowing on the branches of trees. 

Taking the incidental as subject matter, their works introduce a new preoccupation at the SI: looking at what happens in the time and space "between", so that this exhibition is portrayed as a sort of intermission. This theme of intermission or entr'acte will recur unexpectedly in the SI's programming this year, challenging the accepted notion of an exhibition having defined beginning and end points. The repetition and incidental beauty of the works in liquid concrete will serve as a kind of trailer, introducing the idea that exhibitions do not begin or end, but rather flow and linger.
