“The Big Nothing or Le Presque Rien, was a group exhibition of young American and French artists in the New Work Gallery which explored the boundaries between art as object and museum as arbiter of display. Organized by guest curator Kerry Scharlin, this program was simultaneously on view at the French Cultural Services of the French Embassy, in New York. My Spirit, Seattle artist Jeffry Mitchell’s floor-to-ceiling plaster and latex sculptures in WorkSpace, explored the innocence of childhood, sensuality, and spirituality. Stretching the boundaries of portrait photography, the Age Machine, created by Nancy Burson and David Kramlich, was an interactive, computerized installation which ‘aged’ the viewer by 25 years. Viewers operated the machine in the Museum lobby as their ‘aged’ images appeared on monitors in the Broadway Window.”
