Tuesday Evenings with Valerie Hegarty was a valuable look at a career that seems to have developed out of a very ambitious MFA exhibition at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002, which resulted in opportunities such as a commission for New York’s High Line in 2009 and a “takeover” of the period rooms at the Brooklyn Museum for Valerie Hegarty: Alternative Histories in 2013.
My position is that images are not produced by an ego, but employed by one. It already exists in culture and has been produced by culture. . . . Words are produced by culture, but we use them in the act of expression and communication. But we don’t think that as we employ a word, we invent it. —Charles Gaines in an interview with A. Will Brown for Studio International, 9.8.2015
