Frank From Observation

Held at Zach Feuer Gallery from November 23, 2002 to January 13, 2003, Schutz’s exhibition, Frank from Observation, focuses on Frank: a middle-aged, pink male. In this exhibition, Frank acts as Schutz’s imagination, imparting Schutz's idea of what the last man on Earth might look like, if she were the last observer. Schutz describes Frank as, “a character that I invented. He was the last man on earth and I was the last audience and his last witness. He would pose for me and I would make other people and events out of him .”

One interpretation of Schutz’s exhibit is the chance to start anew; no laws, no society, and no one else to hold oneself accountable.

In an interview with Mei Chin from Bomb Magazine, Schutz said her inspiration for this collection came from the question, “What would this person look like if there was only one other person on earth to say what he looked like?” Schutz continues her explanation with her perception of achieved sanity, “There is this sense that you always need someone else to check reality with .”
