A.K. Burns: Survivor's Remorse

Exhibition Website

May 19 2018 - Aug 12 2018

Burns’s installation responds to the life and art of David Wojnarowicz, whose works are featured in the Analog Culture exhibition. The title Survivor’s Remorse references the material conditions of decay present both in analog collections and in the political and material life of the artist. 

Burns writes:

The human body requires a tremendous amount of maintenance: fuel, protection from the elements, psychic safety, buffers from violence and illness. Yet bodies persist, in a state of uncertainty between lethal events and the inevitable degradation caused by time. Survivor’s Remorse looks at the valuation of various forms of vitality—not only lives but the material residue of lives—in particular through the economy of art.
