NO ONE HERE IS INNOCENT
by Kjersti G. Andvig with Carlton A. Turner
Kjersti Andvig is a young Norwegian born in 1978
in Olso, Norway.
Kjersti has been pursueing a both incredibly
fanciful and extremely serious project
framework about historical relationships between
knitting and death penalty, notably
relying on the figure of the « Tricoteuse »
(lower class woman that was knitting while she
was attending public executions during the French
Revolution).
This project comes true here, at Triangle,
through the presentation of a
massive/monumental proposal that consists in the
knitted reproduction of the cell of
Carlton A. Turner, a black American prisoner
which is waiting for his execution in Death
Row in Texas.
A public discussion will be organised on the 3rd
of April in which the different themas
raised by the exhibition will be discussed with
Bastien Gallet, a philosopher and teacher
at the Beaux-Arts of Annecy and Pap'N'Daye, a
historian and a researcher at EHESS and
vice-president of CAPDIV.
A book which recounts the project, published by
Triangle and Monografik editions and
distributed by Le Comptoir des Indépendants is
in preparation.
