TO-DAY, February 20th
SCAD Museum of Art , Savannah
February 20 – August 5, 2018

Installation view To-Day, February 20th, SCAD Museum of Arts, Savannah Georgia, USA 2018.
Each time the piece takes place, the character is shaped by this one-day history. It is important to mention that the date is decided by the situation and not by the artist. The date always coincides with the official opening of the exhibition, in this case the 20th of February. The documentation and visual material departs from newspapers, travel logs, birthdates, obituaries, holidays, observances and any other traces related to this particular date. ‘To-Day’ is an archive of events, with an arbitrary point in common. The piece will be completed after 365 editions.
“To-Day, February 20th,” is a modular staircase structure that has been designed specifically for Gallery 109 within the SCAD Museum of Art. This structure is covered with a pattern created in relationship to the research about the history of Savannah and the date. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the structure by transiting, climbing or sitting on it. Therefore, “To-Day, February 20th” reacts both to the architecture of the museum and the history of Savannah, while it considers objects as histories and histories as objects.
A limited-edition artist-designed newspaper, which visually narrates the historical research, is distributed freely in the gallery.
Curated by Humberto Moro, SCAD curator of exhibitions, with assistance from Rebecca Chadwick, exhibitions coordinator, and Amanda York.

To-day July 9th takes as a starting point the ongoing piece To-day, started in 2005. The second edition was shown in 2006. This most recent piece in 2016 was the third edition.The piece will be completed after 365 editions. The present is a mixture of different temporalities, where events, objects and people from multiple times coexist.
What is the present? When does a passage become a moment? When does an occurrence turn into an event? To-day consists of a newspaper publication and a stage; hosting a fictional character that exists only in one day, but throughout the years
The character can surf freely on this date in different years, jumping back and forth in a 24 hours spectrum around time. Each time the piece takes place; the character is shaped by this one-day history. It is important to mention that the date is decided by the situation and not by the artist.
The date always coincides with the official opening of the exhibition, in this case the 9th of July. The documentation and visual material departs from newspapers, travel logs, birthdates, obituaries, holidays, observances, and any other traces related to this particular date.To-day is an archive of events, with an arbitrary point in common.
