WYNTER, SYLVIA

b. 1928

Man / Human (After the Sacrament / Inventory)

Wynter: the figure of Man — overrepresented as if it were the universal Human — must be unsettled, and the human reconceived after Man. CoCA's Limbo names the present figure: the artist is inventory, the dead masters are the sacrament. The reconception is not asserted; the figure is named. Wynter's project remains open. The Lexicon files the question. The institution awaits the answer it cannot generate alone.
