Heather Wagner, “Attempted – Not Known”
February 28, 2006
“A voice-activated recorder is sent through the mail to impossible addresses and then returned to sender with acoustic doucmentation of its journey. Postal workers singing and gossiping, the creak and bang of a mailbox chute opening and closing…? Or, maybe God and Baby Lindbergh have handlers who reject suspicious packages and return them unopened, and we are privy to their secret celestial conversations. Personally, I like to think it’s the latter.” The piece was on exhibit at Location One last fall.
