Input.

I will be installing several fairly small discreet objects, mounted on the wall or on pedestal. The walls and floor will remain white and grey respectively.

My proposed installation includes the following elements; an all black photograph entitled, "4x6 Photograph of Everything", a slightly larger than baby-bel cheese sized clay sculpture entitled "Good Sculpture", wall mounted headphones (not plugged into anything) entitled, " Good Sound Piece", and painting (see slide) entitled "Studio Painting".

I will require an installation room for this work because it is integral to the concept of the work that the viewer be in close and closed relationship with the work
The aforementioned elements presented in context of the white cube like installation room suggest a skeptical and equally idealistic narrative. The work, which appears as critique of the gallery constructs of meaning and initially seems cynical, ultimately reveals itself as humanist. The compression of space and the subsequent forced intimacy is necessary to solicit in the viewer an empathy with the objects, such that their relationality can be elucidated away from the already re-constructed gallery/artfair space of the open BFA show.


I will be creating an installation of four elements representative of the taxonomy of contemporary art practice; a photo piece, a sculpture, a sound piece and a painting. Individually the pieces address the viewer's expectation and curiosity by alternately soliciting interest and denying the desire for meaning. Relationally the pieces address the sense of bewildered, ecstatic ambivalence inherent in availability of everything.
