Columbia College Chicago. How does language, culture, and the body intersect within the landscape? How does art act outside the gallery? The sculptures shifted every day for the 21 day installation. Viewers were invited to touch and move the installation. An approach to dismiss the importance of the gallery and the artist's control. Like weather patterns or unforeseen events while outside.
