Text reads: Grief / Installation Piece, Tara Bergin For years we thought this kind of thing was imperious and very distant. Then we found it was contemporary – very much of our time. Looking at it more carefully we saw that it had of course all the characteristics of modernity: seriality; mundanity; the shock effect; the way the common object is taken out of context. It caused terrible conflict, both among us as a group and within each of us individually. We wondered whether this was the intention. My own impression was of a grey field with twelve grey tombs. It was steely, and somewhat cold. PNR
Text reads: I didn’t love it. I didn’t want it. I didn’t even like looking at it. But I can’t deny the impact it had on me. I mean some days I think I might never get over it. PNR
