Basics
Basics
- Site-specific cases
The work series “Basics” was conceived in response to a proliferation of temporary public art programming. Constructed out of 2x4 lumber, the most common of building materials in the North American context, and realized in a formal and spatial language that reacts to the spatial configurations and specificities of the public sites, the work investigates the formal and logistical means and possibilities of temporary public art that is conscious of its life span, and that considers process, environmental impact, and economic appropriateness. The work is constructed on site with material “borrowed” from the material cycles of the building industry, and cycled back into the construction process after de-installation.
