Dave Dyment Project At The Power Plant

Dave Dyment has created two new works in response to the Power Plant's archive as part of their Dissenting Histories: 25 Years of the Power Plant project. The first work, shown above, Is It What It Is and Other Questions is a 10 foot LED sign  that contains a series of one thousand questions taken from the Power Plant Gallery's archives, including correspondences, contracts, interviews, guestbook comments, questionnaires, and inter-office communiqués. These vary from the philosophical ("Does that mean time is a figment of our imagination") to the practical ("Will there be a dinner?"). 

The second project, shown below, HÖFER CRATE consists of an eBook of 100 pages, boxed with a nine-panel accordion fold print of polaroids from the Power Plant archive. The project documents works by Candida Höfer that arrived for exhibition at the Power Plant damaged.
