Shelter

Shelter, color, 1:11, 2024
Struggling too late to build shelter from the rain.

Performed atop an industrial building in pouring rain, Shelter includes the same canvas and the same steel I've used in all my installations for the past two years. The performance was streamed live to a monitor in Rodin | Response: FIELD family secrets, an exhibit at the Cincinnati Art Museum in summer 2024. The exhibit is a major work by artist Supermrin, whom I know as Mrin Aggarwal, my mentor at DAAP.
