“I [wish to] Know Everything, activates the gallery vitrine through a time-based juxtaposition of ten photographs. Melanson’s proposition interchanges a single image based on gallery hours. The photographs are of the facing storefront windows of a church and a sex shop, where their signage appears in each other’s reflection. Melanson creates a third overlapping of these linguistic images, situating the viewer at the liminal space within the institution, that is between the gallery and university lobby.”
