Lisi Raskin, X Wing Fighter(detail), as displayed at “Shots in the Dark,” at Churner and Churner Gallery, New York City, February 23, 2012-April 07, 2012. “Raskin recycled and re-mounted pieces from past installations; instead of creating new objects, she became the archeologist of her own storage unit… . A miniature rocket wrought delicately from a roll of toilet paper looked like something survivors of the apocalypse might build to show their children how the world once looked. Raskin’s sculptures read as fakes, and yet they resonate as genuine remains—remains of play, of war, of the artist’s process, of history.”—Lizzie Feidelson, “National Treasures,” Triple Canopy.
