TIME – LIFE Part II picks up where Part I left off, fighting against that inevitable shut-down with an overflow of objects, bodies, paper trails, and presentations. A group show of group shows, all originally presented at other venues, that are ripped-off, restaged and resurrected here. Each is vying for space and attention, creating unforeseen combinations of work and ideologies, frictions, factions and revelations. The individual artists are still legible, but the collectivity of one show seen in contrast to others might resemble The Warriors where all the individual gangs gather in a ragtag summit of juvenile delinquency.
