Time and Narrative 3 questions AmyBeth

1)The author writes that archival techniques represent a desire to internalize and divert the narritive, rather then critique. What is the artist implying? Is there a problem with the system to archive artists, a problem with a lack of general art criticism, or an even more avant-garde suggestion of a new critique guided archive system?

2) Is focusing on "the everyday" a lack of historical perspective, social commentary, or both?

3) I thought Les Chaises de Traverse was an intriguing piece. However, there was very little information on it, and I wonder what the connection between the Synagogue in Delme and the Hotel Saint Livier in Metz have to do with eachother?
