Journal Project #2 1992

Curator: Looking at this piece, Annette Lemieux's "Journal Project #2," it strikes me immediately as a quiet space, almost meditative. Editor: The emptiness is almost aggressive, isn't it? The stark whiteness and the rough edges of the paper seem to demand attention despite offering so little at first glance. Curator: Exactly! It's like a blank page whispering secrets. The artist’s mark in the lower-left corner grounds it. It's a date, a signature, proof of existence. Editor: It's the semiotics of absence. The void becomes a signifier for potential, for the unwritten narrative, a space where we project our own interpretations onto the paper. Curator: Or maybe it's just a reminder of how much remains unsaid, unrecorded. I'm drawn to that rawness. Editor: Precisely, its unassuming nature is perhaps its most potent quality, a testament to simplicity. Curator: A sentiment I can appreciate.
