Untitled
2017
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 2017 by Anicka Yi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece looks like a round, off-white paper with black handwritten text wrapped in a spiral. Tiny brown dots are scattered across the words, breaking up the lines. The writing is uneven—some letters are bold, others faint, as if written in haste. The text is a protest against an immigration ban, listing banned countries and its effects on people. The dots might represent something missing or censored, like erased words. Look up Anicka Yi to see how she uses text and materials in other works.
