I'm Sentimental (exhibition catalog with essay by Lauren Berlant)
2007
Chicago artist Stephanie Brooks is concerned with creating tensions between systems of authority and subjectivity. From fill-in-the-blank forms, graphs, public signage, poetry, measurement systems and minimalism, the work inserts subjectivity into impersonal forms and injects minimalism with emotion. Brooks is interested in asking why and how we mark moments as sentimental, when it is personal, when it is generic and how we create meaning between these locations.
