LAZO presents Letters of a Compass, an installation and performance series at The Abrazo Gallery at The Clemente. The exhibition space includes a platform structure inspired by the four cardinal points that acts as a bridge, a podium, a crossroads, and a stage. Along the walls are reproduced photographs of sky gathered from throughout the Western Hemisphere, hand-printed with various analog and digital methods. A series of the images are printed on envelopes making reference to the physicality of an epistolary practice, now almost defunct through the immediacy of digital correspondence. The earth’s expansive sky is often depicted as a site for endless contemplation and experiences of the sublime, yet it is also a universal ground for navigation, military contestation, human pollution, and a vast range of complex conditions that define the human experience.
