As the collector imagines the archive, her voracious accrual of the past persistently mandates attention to the present. She is called upon to assemble and review, to sort and catalog, and to fill boxes on shelves, containers that breed ever more additions to the family, appendages piled on and under tables and eventually all over the floor. Once neat, the whole congregation becomes progressively chaotic, an accumulation that simultaneously resembles a massive crime scene and a party in glossolalist chorus. The invited guests, as well as the in-house criminals, consist of things from, about, and to artists, poets, and intellectuals; family, friends, and lovers; colleagues, students, and comrades; acquaintances, enemies, and strangers. These bits and pieces of evidence comingle in unique and imbricated histories of events, colloquia, lectures, seminars, classes, and discussions, as well as many other sources, and they share curious points of commonality between genealogy and experimental art. These paper-participant-perpetrators hold the collector hostage for decades, insisting upon her touch and silent reminiscence, even as she hopes to succumb to amnesia, a kind of oblivion needed to cope with and survive the multitude of partial memories called forth by the archive. Throughout the task of endlessly filing and sorting these many things, emotions drift in and out of awareness along with veiled and splintered feelings and sensations sparked by the mere handling of the papers and objects, themselves haunted by the absences stalking her, lack that itself demands recognition as if contact with her hand could erase the dearth of memories. All the while, the documents hold their breath despite incessantly marching toward appreciation. They wait for the precipitous moment when, amidst this mess, one item will take pity on her and arbitrarily reveal its source and history in pristine clarity.
