Lutz Bacher at Daniel Buchholz
(link)
Some days spent in bed wondering: Does CAD love anyone more than Lutz Bacher? answered by the appearance of another before us. Gotta Catch 'em all Quarterly. If Bacher's theme of the erosion of the monument-as-sign's ability to mean isn't still apparent, the spamming of its images should make it: The semantic satiation of saying it again and again mirroring Bacher's interest in the loss, in the meaning photocopied to death. Like Gonzalez-Torres - who CAD also obviously feels some large affinity towards - significance is in the continual depletion and refill of an ability to appear -significant or loved - in the face of another, an artistic problem if there ever was one.
