The modern, public art exhibition—born out of a breach of contract—has become both the image and the infrastructural resource of the type of aesthetic experience art claims to yield. It is a view from nowhere.

Just About in the Round is a curatorial exercise. Themes explored here are, in the broadest terms: embellishment; feathering (to smooth or blur the edges of a feature); sculpture and modeling; in-the-roundness; plasticity; and animation, or the conscious attribution of agency to inorganic objects.
