The title's "passing" as a metaphor for the fluctuation and eventual deliquescence of Grandison's feelings towards Colonel Owens euphemizes the cheerful self-slaughter of the prodigal slave (indeed, the colonel "kill[s] the fatted calf" for him) and replaces him with a resolute freedman. Khalfin's ensemble of works, collectively titled Towards Comprehension of Limits (and appearing here amid videos made with fellow Kazakh artist Yulia Tikhonova), eloquently testifies to the inexorable deliquescence of those ideals. In Finishing Room (cheese), 1999, Peterman used a greenhouse--which in its very name refers to what is potentially the greatest ecological catastrophe of our time--to store a local artisan's organic goat cheese far beyond its natural aging process, producing a predictably strong odor and the deliquescence of the cheese. |
