Exhibiting “1984-1999. The Decade” and who’s in and who’s out, so begins the jury process, the winnowing, fashioning, the adjudication of names into history, into the pages of books to be reproduced and taught. Like the texts behind glass, deprived of their use as anything but denotory specimens, the exhibition becomes artifacts of its information, a list of names, the procession of beauty's pageantry.
