An Earlier Account is a video installation at Koffler Arts Centre’s off-site gallery and part of “how good are your dwelling places.” Other artists in the exhibition include filmmaker Rita Bakacs, Susan Lakin, and Ross Racine. An Earlier Account employs six projections in the kitchen of a former Toronto residence scheduled for demolition. Three pairs of projections situate over eight hundred drawings of a casserole dish, a pressure cooker and a slow cooker in two cabinets and a refrigerator. They represent the different cooking utensils kept in Jewish kitchens that separate those used for dairy from those used for meat. They are fictionalized traces of some one else’s everyday – evidence of an embedded ritual that affix objects and individuals. Emma Vann helped out with the drawings that became the projections; her creativity and patience are greatly appreciated. And I certainly felt good going into this with Daniel Cosentino as technical back-up.
