Barbara Bloom (2) (1951–)

Living together in this ghostly compilation of ephemera are images of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Loch Ness monster, a Playboy magazine in braille, texts in synchronicity, the restoration of a George Stubbs horse painting, UFO sightings, a brief excerpt of Robert Musil’s “A Man Without Qualities,” and other challenges to the statement “what you see is what you get.” Produced on the occasion of Barbara Bloom’s 1988 exhibition at Hallwalls in Buffalo.
