1/1 — MY BROTHER AND I.
A review of the exhibition Siblings, by Noa/h Fields for the Chicago New Art Examiner speaks to the artwork's relationship to memory: When a siblings' photo actually made an appearance in B. Quinn's diptych, My brother and I, the conventionality of its all-smiles riverside pose was punctured by a hand-written caption: "When I was ten, I chased you through the house with a kitchen knife." The menace of memory unnerves the steady waters with ominous affective undercurrents, as the specter of siblings' violent play troubles the photograph's seeming innocence."
Found photograph of the artist, graphite on newsprint paper. 28 x 33 cm (framed and matted), 2019.
