Annetta Kapon
The Measure of Value

September 4 - October 2, 2010

Annetta Kapon's installation The Measure of Value incorporates photography, video, sculpture and silkscreen printing. The work aims to provoke thought about value, labor, globalization and internationalism. Materials used in the installation, including steel, gold, and linen, reference historical, aesthetic, symbolic and relative value, while photography and video call into question the function and value of representation itself. Setting up a dialogue in the exhibition between "actual" things and pictures or video of things, a number of questions are engaged: How do we measure value and how do we represent it? How does one define "actual" and what is the relationship between actual and represented? One could say that everything is a representation, or, conversely, that representation is impossible. The work considers the nature of such binaries, including the transactions and transformations between production and consumption, between one locality and another.
