East Window in collaboration with The Storeroom will be presenting an excerpt from Effigy 1462 by Yumi Janairo Roth at The Storeroom Gallery in Denver, CO as part of Fall of Freedom. Effigy 1462 is a four year durational work made up of an AmazonBasics paper shredder and 1462 offset printed posters featuring words flagged and banned by the Trump administration and written in the font that mimics the “Make America Great Again” logo. Arranged in a single stack of 1462 posters (which corresponds to the number of days in a four-year presidential term), Effigy 1462 serves as both a measuring device and cathartic instrument since it requires the daily removal and shredding of a single piece of paper from the stack. Effigy 1462 also serves as a reminder of the daily labor required to tend to the stack and the daily labor required to protect against assaults on creative expression, scientific research, free speech, and basic human rights.
