George Stone’s Double Cross is a haunting two-room installation that is at once theatrical and conceptually driven. In its first room viewers encounter a cruciform display case constructed out of thin sheets of glass. It contains neat rows of open books, the pages of which utter about, blown by a cluster of tiny electronic cooling fans that move air down each arm of the vitrine. The fans turn on and off at irregular intervals, so the pages alternately come to life and then return again to an inert state. Curiously, the leaves are all blank. It is as if their words have been stolen or bleached out, leaving volumes bereft of meaning.
