September 15 – October 24, 2012 “For the current exhibition at LaMontagne, Blank will show two distinct generations of works from this project. The main gallery features a single group of the graphite slabs, the primary engravings from which all the subsequent image groups descend. Industrially produced from a highly refined commodity substance; uniform in shape and weight; inert; and yet marked by a pictorial referent to a dematerialized digital ‘original’, the slabs instantiate the tensions between Minimalist literality and the signification of photographic records, and between labor, memory, and value.”

September 15 – October 24, 2012 “A grid of the same 35 images, reprinted in unstable dye inks on handmade rag paper, are hung in the gallery’s project room. Counter to the permanence, mass, and manufacture of the graphite slabs, yet fabricated from and inscribed by the same elementary carbon material, the images on paper are light-sensitive, and therefore inherently transient as historical records. The same light required to view them and establish their meaning as documents simultaneously destroys their material basis. To attempt any apprehension of this past is also reflexively to erase it.”
