Resumo:Artist Statement: An Archive of Want, Mickey Bourne Artist labels, as used in many gallery and museum settings around the world, provide a sense of context, authorship and materiality, referencing an artwork without typically being considered part of the artwork. In this way, they're a reference text. Yet do they not also provide their own narrative? I wanted to explore the artistic value of reference texts in capturing the structure of desire. An Archive of Want is a text-based installation, consisting of a series of artist labels describing absent desires- big, small and oblique- over the breadth of a life. It explores the intimacy of absence, queer desire(s), the intersection of memory and imagination, and how gender, race, class, and sexuality intersect to inform who we are and what we want; two sides of the same coin. “These desires, rioting noisily through me. Whose are they?” (Katherine Angel, 2012). And if we trace these voids long enough, what can we learn from the people we wanted to be?
