In High Noon's first site-specific installation, the freshly laundered "rags" of artist Hanna von Goeler hang on clothes lines for her debut exhibition with the gallery, entitled Reverse/Alchemy. This network of clotheslines act as storylines and the paintings or rags as it were act as individual identities. Clotheslines and rags speak to issues of labor, gender, race, class, and value. They highlight the relentless work and the simple task of washing clothes that was required prior to the modern convenience of washing machines. In 1851, Christine Hardyment argues that the development of domestic machinery led to women’s liberation. One can imagine clotheslines such as these, hanging in and about the tenement buildings that housed immigrants in the gallery’s Lower East Side neighborhood.
