Josh MacPhee’s broken, lonely barricade reflects how states and policing systems often claim to control more than they actually can and show the fallibility of human-made tools to restrict movement. The gaps in the fence, MacPhee suggests, are always wider than they first appear. From the 2019 exhibition A Space for Dialogue 95, Creating Knowledge and Control, curated by Annabelle Bardenheier '19, Conroy Programming Intern
