What We Talk About When We Talk About Glove

What We Talk About When We Talk About Glove, Lindsay Kane

The Glove embodies the life cycle of an enchanted object and a fertile site for fantasy.
Unworn the glove is banal and innocuous, once worn it becomes a dual talisman, a
protection for the hand but also protection from discovery at the scene of a crime. The
glove bears witness and the glove performs. It takes the shape of the wearer, and in this
case, an absurd performance of menacing. One can easily imagine a montage of
hundreds of scenes including Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder to the trial of OJ Simpson
where the donning or discarding of gloves becomes symbolic, representational, and
powerful. The glove's final role is as evidence or artifact, the discarded or the eventually
discovered. I see this work as both an object and performance study, the glove itself,
and what movements must be done to give it the talismanic or enchanted status.
