Roosevennavelt: Columnseum Using parking lot vernacular (white stripes / blue handicap), the lot was painted with simple shapes to minimize the dark space and accentuate the architecture. The yellow-painted columns with central non-painted circles transform the concrete colonnades to give a new shapeliness to the passage. Clear shapes of color are a relief from the gray. The 3D painting gives direction and center to the space and diminishes the formidable structure. The white gloss circles take a bite out of the columns and make a series of receding moon shapes. The green ovals act as a graphic landscape to blend with the few trees that surround the site. The 12' tall blue slots create openings in the columns and reinforce the 65th Street corridor. The painted shapes give direction and center to the space. As you move through the space the painting becomes sculpture.

Run 'er way: Detour Last fall the county I live in requested that we loan them a piece of our field for a temporary road to divert traffic in order to do a maintenance project. In October they built the small half circle lane in my field replete with orange cones, reflectors and roadway signs. I was inspired to respond: It seemed perfect for a runway show of OtherClothing. A juxtaposition of site with action. The OtherClothing has been shown on a wall , similar to a kind of ethnographic souvenir: mask or costume. I enlisted my comrades in Edison and surroundings to do a runway show on this miniroad using the Other Clothing. We met at my studio recently, performed a walk on my boardwalk. Then we proceeded around the corner to film a few takes.(Run ‘er Way ).Horizon Runway.These are the still shots I took that serve as a draft for the film that will follow. We attracted the attention of a few neighbors. |
