Window (Médoc and Snapple) . 2017
Discussion of Wentworth’s work often hovers between questions of language and etymology and the hardware and hardwiring of the world. The artist—drawn to elisions of both language and culture—playfully maps the trajectories of metaphors as he speaks, making historical leaps and bounds. Whether talking about the history of cable or the mass-produced book or the reflective powers of glass and mirror, all materials employed here, Wentworth is always criss-crossing ways of reading and the territories in which these things might habitually occur. “A brick can be used as a unit of culture, a doorstop or a murder weapon.”
