"Greater Together" (ACCA)

It turns out I wasn't in the right kind of mode to really engage with this today, so it may be one for a return visit, as today only two penetrated, and even then really on the level of their monumentality: Bik Van der Pol's "Letters to the Land" and Goldin + Senneby's "Standard Length of a Miracle" (dominated by the installed oak tree at its centre, although the piece itself is in fact part performative and not simply static). In a little trace, too, I noticed that one of the people with whom artist Celine Condorelli is in conversation in the book that's part of her 'reading room' installation is Avery Gordon, whose Ghostly Matters impressed me recently.
