Closings: March 19-27, 2011 (New York, Berlin, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Munich, Paris, Madrid) | 2011

Kodak Ektagraphic III ATS projectors, 320 unique 35mm slides.

Culled from exhibitions closing the week of March 19-27, 2011, this work presents "original" images from those exhibitions along with a series of "reproductions" of the same works. The piece, in the time it was displayed (March 28 to April 4, 2011), extended the life of the world's deinstalled works by one week.

All reproductions were constructed from a limited quantity of plasticine. Thus, the erasure of previously formed pieces was necessary in the creation of each subsequent reproduction. In parallel with the disappearance of originals works and their trail of remaining images, it is possible only to know the plasticine reproductions through their images. They are, like the images of last week's exhibitions, only a trace of what once was.

The reproductions also offer a first response to the works they emulate. Every reproduction, in the nuances of translation, has the opportunity to become a distinctly new entity. Simply navigating the fidelity of a reproduction has provided the means for a series of unique and singular responses.
