| The surface the photograph has to be seen as a contested terrain. Appearing on it, or disappearing from it, is not a matter of visual whimsy, but an actual index of power and powerlessness. |

| Premonitory Machines |
pdf |
| by Philip Monk, April 2011 |
| More than just triangulated between its tenses of past, present, and future, time itself is fractured. Premonition haunts time and disrupts its unbroken smooth flow forward. Progress is not (self)-assured. Time here rather is achronological. The future that beckons us with its fluctuating video glare from the far wall of the gallery is not what was past promised by the progress of history. |

| Additions, Subtractions: On Collectives and Collectivities |
pdf |
| In "Transit/Stasis: Negotiating Movement in the City", a publication accompanying the exhibition by the SFAI, 2011. |
| Whenever we count, we end up with additions, with something more than a singularity. And then we add additions together. We couple; we multiply. When we look at a singularity long enough, then, up close, things begin to fall away from the unit’s seemingly monadic sovereignty. Subtraction and division yield a carnival of decimals, a rebellion of fractions. Even the solitude of one is made up of one thirds and halves and quarters and other, forever other, infinities... |
