Textile has always been the material of witness.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt, first laid on the National Mall in October 1987, was 1,920 panels. Names stitched into fabric because the government would not say them. Because the newspapers would not print them. Because the bodies were being buried before the nation admitted they had lived.

Fabric held what language could not move fast enough to hold.

EXHIBIT 01 is not the Quilt. It carries no illusion of that scale or that grief. But it understands the lineage it enters when it puts a phrase on silk and sends it into the world on a body. GUERRE CONTRE L'ABANDON DU VIH. War against the abandonment of HIV. The war is not over. The abandonment continues.

This is the record of a second object that arrived without being summoned.
