"Nearby, I think Deborah Wing-Sproul's video performance piece is marvelous, completely in line with what I expect from the exhibit. A recursive single channel projection of the artist seated on a rock at the foot of a Greenland shoreline, it explores notions that are typically delimited by gallery settings: our tenuous relationship with climate change, the slow passing of time, and the performance of an internal process that isn't shrouded in emotional terms. The artist barely moves a muscle in this hour-long video; instead she leaves ample space for the viewer to make his or her own connections." [Nicholas Schroeder]
