"Still: Life" is a piece from a book-length collaboration between poet Matthew Cooperman and painter Marius Lehene. It's looking and questioning looking; it's looking for a home. How do we purchase, what do we code, and why? What is a colon’s bearing? Who is speaking? Where do we store our stuff? These works are, we hope, defiantly diagnostic; in their indexical imagining they give attention to frame and discourse, and so expose what’s feeding our sacred cows.
