Ellen Cantor
Within a Budding Grove
May 22 – July 6, 2008
PARTICIPANT INC presents Ellen Cantor, Within a Budding Grove, an installation that brings together recent drawings and collages with an epic story in the form of a hand-drawn film script that will be utilized in the production of fil m/video works made and exhibited during the run of the exhibition. Death Skull (2008), a large-scale drawing that serves as both the centerpiece of the exhibition and a tunnel-like detour from Cantor’s storyboard, is a direct reflection on loss and death. A video epilogue, Deborah 1948-2007, is a mournful homage to friendship. Through this installation of her latest work, Cantor continues her examination of the indivisibility of the idealized and the dysfunctional, lightness and dark.
