E-mail, as it would have appeared centuries ago
Posted by Dominic Basulto
The Village Voice reviews the new "Accumulations" exhibition by Emily Jacir at the Meatpacking District's Alexander and Bonin gallery. One of the works in the exhibition is "Inbox," a series of 40 paintings on wood that the Voice calls a "brave and beautiful tour through the artist's e-mail correspondence."
E-mail messages from the artist's inbox are hand-painted in oil on panels of wood in such a way as to "skewer the formality of digital correspondence via an unapologetically handwritten approximation of the typeface that exists when these works are on-screen." The details of the e-mail paintings include "wryly appropriate advertisements tacked on by Internet providers."
