I was also thinking of Hans Haacke’s Shapolsky et al. Manhattan Real Estate Holdings, A Real Time Social System, as of May 1 1971 as a grid that tells a story, a narrative grid that would go against Krauss’ theory. After all a grid can be used to organize a narrative as well as silence one, think of course, of a comic book. Haacke’s piece is somewhat narrative but it also uses the grid to present its evidence of injustice all-at-once and give the impression that it is over whelming.
