Debtfair Proposal (with Occupy Museums and Kenneth Pietrobono)

2014
​3 Pieces, 2 at 39” x 50” x 24” each; one at 42"x24"x24"
Mixed Media

Our proposal to expose hidden debt in the art market includes a series of interventions in commercial galleries and art fairs. We intend to insert a new narrative into art fairs by exhibiting “bundles” of artwork by indebted artists on auxiliary walls that can be attached to existing structures. In commercial galleries, we intend to hang the work of bundles of indebted artists between the studs of a typical gallery wall and behind an existing show.

Recently shown at Momenta Art in Brooklyn, NY. The group show, "Work it Out"  also included artists Greg Sholette and Matt Greco, Nsumi Collective, Peter Fend, Huong Ngo & Hong-An Truong and Mierle Laderman Ukeles.  The installation included one proposal for a commercial art gallery, one for an art fair, and one table holding broadsheets explaining the project and printed for the show. 

Farm Monument (with Eco Practicum participants)

2014
​112” x 60” x 60”
Materials: reclaimed wood, bones, and metal, as well as clay dug up and sawdust-fired on site.

This ephemeral monument to the modern farmer was designed by dozens of youth ages 9-13 for an educational farm in Liberty, NY. I built it along with a group of 18-22 year olds as part of a pedagogical process where we examined the role and experience of the modern farmer in contemporary America.

Efficient Self-Reproduction Series (Object Me)

Picture
Each "Object Me" self-portrait is engraved with a unique Item Number, the exact time it took to create, and the days on which it was worked. The "Object Me" series serves as an example of efficient self-reproduction. I doubled my self-reproduction efficiency in less than three months.
