Installation #547
October 2 – October 27, 2007
Site: CERES Gallery
547 West 27th Street Suite 201
New York, NY 10001
Eighth in the series of large-scale site-specific Window Installations, #547 continued the investigation of history and transience by featuring salvaged windows from a c.1927 Upper East Side Manhattan apartment house, suspended from a custom mounted ceiling framework and arranged to envelop the viewer in a translucent environment. Preserved images culled from prior Installations, which have since been destroyed, were displayed on the surrounding walls alongside sample windows selected from the artist’s several building collections. Data accompanying each sample window illustrated their historical significance while redefining them as surviving artifacts of our architectural past.
