Instead, we put together a reading/object list, another sort of exercise to expand the possibilities of thick analogies. There is no way to make the reader feel the vertigo of these lectures, nor to make visible in print the comparative work Domenick puts into his objects. I didn’t get something basic about Domenick’s objects-their layered literacy-until I saw the lectures and watched him slide between reading surfaces. They try to forge an understanding between materials, objects, images, and fragments of history. These lectures are (perhaps) exercises in widening the viewer’s capacity for associative reading. While he works primarily in sculpture and large-scale drawings that read like sculpture, Chris Domenick also composes performative lectures that sketch a chain of associations between 30–50 images over the course of 15 minutes.
