Gail Bourgeois - 2020: one year at home
May 30 to July 23, 2024
During the first year of the pandemic, I collected the media data available, wrote daily comments and made interpretive drawings. I was motivated to draw and write by an impulse to counter forgetfulness through carefully recording and giving critical attention to the data that represented human suffering.
Gail Bourgeois maintains a drawing practice where themes and methods of working express the tension between academic knowledge and more experimental forms of knowledge based on her interest in collective practices and local engagement. In 2023, she completed a four-year research project on the first year of the pandemic.
