A Reflection on the Invisible Violence workshop presented by Liz Park
Montreal-based writer Amber Berson shares her reflections on the workshop titled “The Form of Violence / The Form of Exhibition” presented by Liz Park for Invisible Violence at CEREV (The Centre for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence) at Concordia University on February 27.
“In my time with CEREV (The Centre for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence), I have had the privilege of working with or learning about a wide range of projects dealing with curatorial methods for difficult knowledge. Few, however, have resounded as deeply for me as Liz Park’s Invisible Violence has. Her project is, as its title suggests, about invisible violence, and while its subject matter is of the most difficult type, the artworks that make up the publication neither shock nor ease the viewer. Rather, the goal of the project – to promote intimate contemplation on the subject of mass, as well as personal, violence – is achieved through subtlety and discretion.”
