How is history written, and who remains at the margins of its narratives? Published on the occasion of Rush, Gary Simmons's exhibition at Cookie Factory (Denver), this catalogue brings together texts by Jérôme Sans, Amanda J. Precourt & Andrew Jensdotter, Sandra Jackson-Dumont, and Mardee Goff, alongside documentation of the artist's site-specific project.

Through images that emerge and fade, references to popular culture, and the mythology surrounding the conquest of the American West, Gary Simmons explores history as a constructed narrative shaped by mechanisms of erasure and invisibilization that inform collective memory.

Conceived as an extension of the exhibition, this publication invites readers to reflect on the fragile boundaries between memory and forgetting, presence and disappearance.
