News [wherever the wind blows us]

News is a collection of tracings of the arts sections of the newspaper onto translucent mylar. The pages fill with empty boxes and only navigational cues remain. Text directs the viewer, but where? The remade newspapers hang perpendicular to the wall and shift slightly in the currents of a room like boats in harbor. How might these emptied pages suggest orientation in a sea of information? Like the newspapers once found in libraries, these objects are meant as reference material to be handled. With repeated viewings the pages will pick up smudges from readers reflecting the reader’s activity back to them.
