As part of Episode 1 – Masquerade at de Appel arts centre in Amsterdam, Sarah Pierce presented the installation It’s Palpable In The Air (2008) with video, audio, dia projections, coloured sheets and presentation furniture as well as several pieces from de Appel’s archive as part of an ongoing project titled It’s time man. It feels imminent.

In the ongoing project It’s time man. It feels imminent, Sarah Pierce interrogates the emptying-out of the political gesture and the way in which we negotiate agency in public space. The installation at de Appel expands this research to think about how people organize (their political and social commitment) around and through institutions.
