Enhanced by crochet accouterments, it's an outsized cartoon of feminine abundance. The pink globe bounces in one side of the lens and out the other in youthful exuberance, and eventually deflates, sadly and gracefully, in surprising little puffs and gasps. It's not necessary to adore balloons to appreciate the grace and beauty of this short visual piece. One needs only be aware of its simplicity, without interruption, to find meaning, elegance and allegory. Those wonderful old piles of information that held keys to the universe of knowledge are passing into obscurity.
Computers do it all faster and take less room.
Plus, an atmospheric poetry reading by the artist, whose voice echoes emptily as a reinforcement of card file status today. Once again, CAC does what it does best, surprising the Cincinnati art audience. The views expressed in these pages do not necessarily represent those of the publishers.
