Performance Appraisal is an ongoing series revising Ramírez's body of work through the lens of a gallery office. The framework of a 'performance appraisal' implies Ramírez' ouvre is being measured, reviewed and valorised.
For Performance Appraisal 1, Ramírez asked an arts organisation to cover the ground of their office with a large vinyl, originally shown as a public banner. Deteriorating with every movement in their office, this exercise speaks to the valorisation of the art work and brings attention to the dimensions of the office, which rival the size of a gallery. The documentation also illustrates a basic organisational chart, featuring a Director and a Curator without identifying their roles.
