“The present exhibition/catalogue clarifies with a new intensity the uses of photography, in a spectrum that ranges from documentation to newly-minted works. Some photographs are evidence of absent works of art, other photographs constitute themselves works of art, and still others serve as documents of documents” (from the introduction).
Presented here is a complete copy of the box, including the one piece missing in the great majority of copies, Tom Gormley’s “Red File Cabinet,” of which most examples were reportedly accidentally destroyed.
