[Release page] Arriving is not necessarily the same as getting there. Getting there is more a matter of calibrating your mental compass than arranging your furniture just the way you want it. Relocation.Reconstruction revisits work from a solo exhibition mounted three years ago in Seattle, shortly after Yann Novak left the city for Los Angeles.
In stark contrast to the chaos of moving, the artist clears a room and opens a valve that slowly infuses it with an increasingly consternating stream of drone. Misgivings encroach upon fond memories, resolve overwhelms discouragement. Despite its slow, measured development, the piece is actually quite tempestuous, clouding the mind in order to provide it clarity about the complex and contradictory emotions to which reorientation give rise.
Novak repristinates his world, returns it to its origins in order to begin making new impressions on it.
Relocation.Reconstruction is available on Line. [Release page]
