Abstract/Summary:
This exhibition combined a variety of art forms into an installation that changed daily. Murals of figures and EKG images were painted on the walls in rich, deep reddish tones. During exhibition hours, a stereo played loop tapes of prerecorded sounds, all of which involved wind movement. I slept in the gallery on the floor near the wall during exhibition hours in pajamas and on bedding prepared by dyeing and painting the fabric deep blue and printed with a star design.; The focal point of the exhibition was an arrangement of four hundred large flat ceramic beads that changed during the course of the exhibition from a grid to a hoop. During the closing reception, I performed a short oratory and cut the cord connecting the beads, allowing viewers to take the beads.
