September 8th - October 30th, 2011
Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen present "Don't Worry We'll Fix It" for PICA's annual Time-Based Art Festival. This show will be on view throughout the festival, as a part of the "On Sight" program.
How is it that 115 billion human life stories are distilled into one approximate “history”? Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen indirectly approach that question through the establishment of a production office that specializes in redaction and restorative text-work.
The Fix It office will employ a variety of divergent archival and historiographic methods in order to examine the ways that the institution of history is continuously built up and broken down through texts.
The office will both produce the publication September, a daily art historical broadside specially made for TBA:11, and be an active space where the artists will work onsite to correct, revise, and compile errata from previous editions of the paper amidst a new body of their related object-work.
