Frances Stark: This could become a gimick [sic] or an honest articulation of the workings of the mind

Through both writing and visual art, Frances Stark has produced candid and affecting work about language, doubt, failure, and creative anxiety for over two decades. Stark’s writings stand as a self-reflexive inquiry into the process of artistic production, as well as the often-elided demands of daily life. Frances Stark: This could become a gimick [sic] or an honest articulation of the workings of the mind, published on the occasion of her 2010-2011 exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, features a selection of the artist’s writings from 1997-2006, with margin notes by João Ribas.
