Visitor Center announces FIELD DRESSINGS FOR LAZARUS, a LODGER Studio project, spanning 25 years of research and development.
Drawing inspiration from the concept of field dressing, involving the preservation of hunted game and the utilization of field dressings in combat triage, the exhibition serves as an interzone for the negotiation of the undead claims of the past and the newborn demands of the future.In the Visitor Center Laboratory, this project proposes a site for the forensic analysis of memories [of which we have no moral purchase] and a questionable abundance of double-entry receipts. A few selected bone shards, but no satisfactory solutions. No bodies, except for Lazarus—what remains are echoes and longing, dereliction, alterity, and conjured familiars as company and crew.
