Yesterday Paul Couillard send me one of my favourite kinds of emails—one line and a picture:

"An image taken by Chumpon Apisuk of 'Silence #8: Plumb Lines, with thanks to Rebecca Belmore' from the 2009 edition of LIVE!"

Thank you for this fabulous addition to the archive!

“Mending” (2009) by Margaret Dragu

This work was part of a series of pieces centered around “verb actions” developed by Margaret Dragu in collaboration with Paul Couillard. In this piece, Dragu films herself repeating the action of “mending,” overlapping the subsequent iterations to create layers of actions that slowly deteriorate and obscure with each repetition.
