Rose Salane works with found objects, text and fiction to re-examine and reconsider monumental historical events through the lens of the individual, telling stories through lost objects. At aged 18, Salane moved to New York for university; her second day of classes was September 11th 2001. The events of that day had a profound and lasting effect on the artist. She is interested in the World Trade Center both for the consequences of its demise and as a monument to neoliberalism. Salane’s artistic process revolves around rummaging, gathering together, ordering and archiving lost, scattered fragments, finding reason and rhythm in the rubble. Salane’s is a kind of ethnographic practice, assembling everything from rings lost on New York City transport and counterfeit currency to receipts and Port Authority engineering manuals, to uncover truths about their former owners and, more broadly, the conditions of neoliberalism.
