On Now
Epistemology and ordering systems have long informed the works of Ian Carr-Harris, and two new offerings at Susan Hobbs Gallery also address these themes. The preeminent artist presents both Ten Verbs/Ten Commandments—a set of 10 words written in schoolhouse script that implies the constraints of both language and action—and Correct, a minimalist model of Samuel de Champlain’s 1608 “Habitation.” The latter, an addition to Carr-Harris’s Paradigm series of structures, submits architecture as an institutional framework by which our thoughts and relations are mediated.
