Pieces 2000 - 2001


Title: Untitled Circle (Non Place Urban Field) 2000
Materials: Sony radios and linoleum on floor.

I showed this piece during my MFA Thesis exhibition at Hunter College and a year later in a show titled "El Ritmo del Mundo" at Flushing Town Hall in Queens.




Detail View:

While on exhibit someone kept stealing the sport jerseys. I ended up having to run 50lb fishing line through all the jerseys to make them secure. The two valuable lessons that I learned from this are, if you think it might happen it will and stock up on materials since you might have to replace pieces that might end up being out of stock in the future. I bought extra amounts of jerseys in that style just in case.











Title: Reach, 2000
Materials: Sport Jerseys, gym mat, and vinyl tape on floor.


This piece has been exhibited at the Bronx Museum, Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning and The Shore Center of Contemporary Art. The image was taken at the Bronx Museum during the "Artist in the Marketplace" exhibition.
