it will be difficult to distinguish the presentation of the work from the work itself.
the work deliberately engages the dissolution of such boundaries.
how is the documentation of the work encountered by the observer?
the work is the presentation of the work - its/it’s representation and replication via this platform.
sarah bricke is a transisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher working along the intersections of gender, sexuality, feminism, and queer theory. her process and projects are distilled from the ways in which seemingly disparate landscapes, bodies, and processes are both distinct and inextricably linked, and how these paradoxical relationships are represented, perceived, and preserved through institutional and archival practices.
her practice merges research, scholarship, materials, mediums, and modes of production in new ways which seek to trouble dominant narratives and overturn existing orders and structures, instigating radical processes of re-thinking, re-embodying, and re-imagining. Working in, between, and through installation, objects, photographic processes, performative lecture, critical theory, and poetry, bricke engages in the production of objects and images as a mechanism to facilitate
dialogues around them: she is involved with making as a continual process in which things don’t become fully defined and can’t be considered completely understood or fully realized. bricke’s work frequently utilizes fragmentary pieces or remains that can be taken apart and reconstructed, transferred into different forms, or become part of new cycles.
ongoing artistic and research projects concern art that arises in the ruins of the built environment, artistic practitioners who create long-term and/or large-scale work without receiving recognition or institutional support, and those who make work in the face of oppression, disempowerment, or victimization.
