excerpt about "Mirrors" from Reference's site:
January 23rd-February 6th 2009
...
This show subverts the traditional relationship between object, exhibition and documentation, a relationship built on the economic model of galleries and museums and objects for sale. Using photographs of the exhibition site empty and images of artworks photographed elsewhere, composite images are created as installation views of a hypothetical exhibition. These composited installation images are then distributed by the gallery’s website. The exhibit will culminate in a projection of these images directly from the gallery’s website within the gallery itself. This circular presentation is meant to challenge the boundaries of where we locate value in art. The institution, the first hand experience and digital documentation are all melted into one, leaving the viewer to decide where art took place.
