Installation Views I, 2011

 

A series of nine photographs documenting an installation constructed using blue painter's tape. Three months before the exhibition I was taking part in, the gallery gave me time to create this work during a few days between shows when the walls were still empty.

I assembled an archive of screen shots of “installation views” from artist and gallery websites in order to curate a private mega dream show of influences and aspirations. The constructions I made delineated only the architectural elements—walls, corners, edges, hallways— discernible in the collected photographs.

During the exhibition opening, the series was posted online via the host gallery’s past exhibition archive. The photographs were not printed and the physical installation was never publicly viewable.
