Abstract

Frenkel's remarkable work on the inner life of a dysfunctional cultural institution has reached the mid-point of its run at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery. Viewers are invited into the first test branch of The National Institute for the Arts (known informally as The institute (tm), a chain of artists' residences situated in vacant hospitals across the country. The on-line element of the work, accessible at www.the-national-institute.org is part of the full multidisciplinary project still on view in the gallery. Moving freely between the real and the fictive, visitors will meet the artists in residence who live and work under the auspices of a government scheme to retrain unemployed cultural bureaucrats as caregivers. In combining a quasi-fictional structure and compelling documentary content, Frenkel has devised an instrument that engages both conscience and desire. The exhibition featuring The Institute (tm) web site accompanied by related audio works, plaques and digital prints, traces a ship-of-fools situation where viewers can be both amused and saddened by the curious relation between the arts, the health system and government.

Abstract

"Do artists travel away from or towards trauma? Is trauma encrypted or inscribed in art? Or can aesthetic practices (after-images) bring about transformation of trauma, personal trauma or historical traumas? Can they do this in a way that does not imply cure or resolution of the traces (after-affects) of trauma? How do artists themselves process these traces as participants in and sensors for our life-worlds and histories, and how does the viewer, coming belatedly or from elsewhere, encounter works bearing such traces or seeking forms through which to touch and transform them?
