Annie Carpenter's work is often self-reflexive, evoking the early conceptual art of the 1960s. She is interested in language - how it can be manipulated, and how it can affect the reading of an artwork. Carpenter is concerned with dissecting dominant artistic conventions.  A good example of one of these conventions is this.  Accompanying texts such as this allow viewers access to work that, without explanation, would be difficult to fully understand.  But at the same time, 'art blurb' has its own traditions and customs, blocking access to people who are not familiar with them.
