Long abstractIt could be in your eye or on a gallery floor. It seems like it’s under the microscope, but maybe it’s all in your head. The protozoa isn’t lurking exactly, but it’s a trick to find. This entry follows the slippery protozoa as it moves in animal bodies, along the edges of a painting, down the side of a sculpture. Georges Bataille’s writing on “formless” meets Lynda Benglis’ floor-pour paintings and Anne Truitt’s columns, leading us to ask: What other dreams will we find if we let protozoan indeterminacy undo us a little, loosen the knot of our being?
