Abstract
In this essay I argue that Scott Myles's practice can be understood as a reworking of certain key paradigms associated with postmodernism, including an interest in ruins identified by Craig Owens as a symptom of postmodernism's return to allegory. Myles's transformation of these paradigms is read in relation to the gift economy at work is his appropriation of works by other artists (especially Felix Gonzalez-Torres) and via the allegory of the construction site set out by Walter Benjamin in 'One-Way Street'.
