LA SUITE
LA SUITE involves follow-up in both senses of the term: it comes after, and it reveals forms of kinship. These latter may be formal or referential, but can equally be exaggerated and invite circumspection. We follow just as we are followed. No work is heredity-free, even if each invents its own history of art; but its decision is that of whom to follow, not of who will follow it. LA SUITE, by contrast, decides on which works follow; but it writes its own history – and, indirectly, that of the works it embraces.
