Installation view: Alix Vernet presented by Real Pain, Los Angeles

For the past year, Alix Vernet has been
quietly pulling clay reliefs from the
surfaces of public monuments and
sites around New York. As the country
faced a larger reckoning of its imperialist
history, Alix was shadowing Theo Boggs,
a monument technician from NYC
Parks who restores and cleans facades.
Her work has produced a series of
photographs and renegade impressions
of the lettering and visual motifs found
at these sites. Seen together, City
"When Will You Keep Your Promise?"
presents a rebuke of permanence and
an investigation into the instability,
maintenance, and care that define the
fabric of the city.
