Long-Range Forecast: Variable

Cover of Long-Range Forecast: Variable collaborative book project with Robin Aresenault.

Paired with photographic documentation of the exhibition is leannej’s “Weathering Systems”, a flow chart narrative that unfolds in poster format. Working with improbability, the gap between action and consequence, and other indictments of narrative form, leannej’s work hovers between writing and conceptual art practice. Her previous work includes many contributions to FRONT Magazine, where she was Managing Editor, and “Maybe it’s just a phase,” a series of tear sheet texts included in the group show Sift: The Reading Room, an exhibition of writers working with visual culture at Artspeak in 2001. As an extension of that exhibition, she collaborated with Jeremy Turner on a contribution to Sifted: The Read Room, an electronic publication of computer based artworks. This publication brings together Robin Arseneault and leannej’s shared interests in semiotics and metaphors of prediction and probability.
