Beschreibungen/Notizen
  • Two decades into the twenty-first century, with the world in the grip of a global pandemic, a climate crisis that is looking increasingly intractable, and our political leaders vying for berths on the Ship of Fools, it is a reminder that the world was here long before us and will still be here, despite our best efforts to destroy it, long after we are gone. [...]that's far too many words to describe an admirably minimalist work of art. What used to be a sighed finale, exhaled diminuendo, fading to mute, resigned acknowledgement of stalemate (or last attempt at common ground, depending on her mood) is now an opening gambit, a winsome overture, prelude to a coda, glimpse of life beyond our ambit. The second, by the elusive Temple Hirst, couldn't have been more fit for purpose if I'd written it myself, using the jigsaw puzzle metaphor to speak directly to the theme of shipwrecked time, here in a specifically archaeological, rather than geological, context. An Order Among Things Casting our eyes over the floor of an abandoned fish shack in Shelburne County, we own our dismay, as our trained gaze fails to process what we see there.
