This exhibition presents three bodies of recent work, Archive an installation of hundreds of idea boxes that represent an externalization of the artists mind, Sleeper Experiment in which the artist is exposed to a computerized voice repeating donated texts from viewers, and the Timeline Paintings which trace the developments and derivations of various cultural happenings in graphic form.
