Students in the Faculty of Sculpture, University of Belgrade, 2006.
An open call from The Metropolitan Complex to students from various New York art academies to contribute unfinished, test works for display at Apex Art. Part of the exhibition Nameless Science curated by Henk Slager, apexart, New York (10 December 2008 - 31 January 2009).
"Examining the logic of display and exhibition is the subject of Sarah Pierce’s project Test Pieces/Ambivalence and Authority (2006-ongoing. Pierce focuses on the paradox of the curatorial characterized by a point of order but also by a point of pause. In Eyes of the University, Derrida relates the concept of points of pause, thehesitations and decisions that mark one’s research. Pierce uses this insight to draw attention to the anticipatory status of student work and the college campus as a tentative, transitional site of speculation and deferral. Her apexart presentation links moments of ambivalence to the authority of artistic research as it occurs in the academy and includes a video registration of the Nameless Science symposium and contributions by students of various New York art academies."
