Mesmerized at the Australian Pavilion
At the Australian Pavilion, I was mesmerized by Khaled Sabsabi’s art, and deeply honored when the experience became personal: I was chosen to participate in The Invitation and entrusted with an original, small, boxed artwork to care for over eight years. Four hundred of us will carry our pieces into homes around the world, where the art will live among the ordinary things—a lamp, a stack of books, the belongings we pack when we move. In eight years, the works will be returned and reunited for an exhibition in Sydney. I wonder who we will be by then, and what it will feel like to give back something that has lived beside us for so long.
