TOUCH

Nicolas Bourriaud’s exhibit TOUCH revives many social topics that were more popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s. It addresses a new sense of connection between the artist’s exhibit and their audience. He allows the viewer to pick up what they want from the display and bind it together themselves to their own understanding. The bottom line about the show is about relationships. Jorge Pardo’s Portrait of George Pocari is a large bookshelf with multiple books stacked in the very specific order to suggest meanings and characteristics about the owner. The book shelf provides many objects left behind as clues after someone is passed. This connection between death and leaving clues explores an entire different spectrum of observing one’s footprints to form a relationship. These relationships like writing down immediate thoughts in Signs That Say What You Want Them to Say, Not Signs That Say What Other People Want You to Say recreate bonds that can exist through time and space. The history of these relationships are endless through the traces we leave behind.
