Andrea Fraser<\/strong>\u2019s work engages the institution of art and art institutions. Vanessa Place<\/strong>\u2019s work interrogates notions of criminality and poetry. Language and sound figure into both of their practices as key investigative tools. Working from the disciplines of art and writing respectively, both employ existing tracts of text and reposition them in the context of art and performance. This exhibition presents new work by each artist in two sound installations in the Schindler House.<\/p>\n

For AV<\/strong>, Fraser<\/strong> will attempt to activate some of the structural relations between museums and prisons as the bookend institutions of polarized neoliberal social space. Place<\/strong> debuts her installation, Last Words, about which she writes: \u201cDeath is a sentence. Silently handed to each of us, spoken aloud to others.\u201d Both works prompt the viewer\u2014or in this case, the listener\u2014to ask questions about the notions of absence, presence, power, individuality, freedom, and subjectification. Curated by Kimberli Meyer.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Place<\/strong>
\nThe Boston Review called Vanessa Place \u201cthe spokesperson for the new cynical avant-garde,\u201d the Huffington Post characterized her work as \u201cethically odious,\u201d while philosopher and critic Avital Ronell said she is \u201ca leading voice in contemporary thought.\u201d Vanessa Place was the first poet to perform as part of the Whitney Biennial; a content advisory was posted. Place also works as a critic and criminal defense attorney, and CEO of VanessaPlace Inc, the world\u2019s first poetry corporation.<\/p>\n
