Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay produced A Letter Condoning This Exhibition/A Letter Condemning This Exhibition in response to the news that his aesthetics and identity had been used by Schwebel as part of his exhibitions at the Fonderie Darling and the Tadeusz Kantor House in Hucisko. The letters are contained in envelopes, framed and locked within a sculptural work displayed within Schwebel’s exhibition. Nemerofsky’s performance will involve the unlocking of the frame and a live reading of the letters. Josh Schwebel will not be present to learn their contents.
