Document features work checklist and text by Prokopoff. Near Fine.

"The artistic evocation of dread is used in this exhibition as a means of exploring the concept of the work of art as a structure that includes non-visual elements ? association and expectation, psychologically charged text and sound ? as essential components in its total expressive design. While other themes could have been selected, Menace is able to encompass a varied constellation of gestures and to offer an emotionally potent subject particularly appropriate to the artistic method found in these works. (?)" Stephen Prokopoff.
