Walead Beshty + Kelley Walker: Hardbodies Software - Redling Fine Art - LA





Katie (who works with us at the gallery) and I are only about 5 years apart, but it seems that we sit on either side of the Orwellian divide. To give you some idea, I took word processing in school, she did not. My first month working in a gallery was spent organizing slides and 4x5s, her’s was not. My impulse is to use the gallery’s all-in-one machine to copy, she uses it to scan.
In her world hardcopies are a nuisance, it’s stuff for stuff’s sake. She sees integrity through management software; I see the potential for corruption. While I was not doing much before 1984, apparently something did stick.
