Projects                                                  



Simple Gifts, 2012


The Shaker religion gave us many things. Three of these things are well placed in the classic American canon; the folk song "Simple Gifts", the sturdy Shaker chair, and the DIY ethic. Visit Simple Gifts.


Just In Case, 2012


An ongoing project about labor, language, location, and infection. Visit Just In Case to see the progress.


DIY Blag, 2012


A blog in the form of personal institution critique. Visit www.DIYBlag.us to experience my deconstruction.


Belonging/Exclusion, 2011


"Even in their smallest details... museums reveal their real functions which is to reinforce among some people the feeling of belonging and among others the feeling of exclusion." -Pierre Borcheu and Alain Darbel

Belonging/Exclusion consists of a false wall and door with the ambient sounds of a cocktail party played on repeat from behind the door. The desirable sounds of the party heighten the denial of access to the museum visitor. Context can be understood within the relational antagonism of Clair Bishop.
