Abstract
Written to accompany an exhibition by Valérie Blass at Parisian Laundry, Montreal, the essay discusses Blass’ art stages a meeting and disruption of high and low materials, processes and cultural references. Regularly presented on stage-like pedestals and plinths, her assemblages have a dramatic quality, seeming to announce themselves self-consciously as sculptures. Reckitt links Blass’s art to the aesthetics of bricolage and scavenging of the 2007 New Museum exhibition ‘Unmonumental.’ Discussing the human scale of Blass’s quasi-figurative sculptural assemblages, she suggests that they invite curiosity and touch.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
