Sincerely Yours
2014
Category:
Zack’s work considers the way history and information are manipulated, manufactured and stored. Sincerely Yours uses the recurring motif of typed and bound – yet illegible – bundles of paper. The artist employs these painted documents as building blocks to create architectural environments that act as containers for the knowledge printed on their pages. These constructions recall bizarre filing cabinets, computer servers, library shelves and even office cubicles.
