Convoy
Solo Exhibition/Installation
UNO Fine Arts Gallery Aug 21 - Sept 8 2000 New Orleans, LA
With this installation I wanted to work primarily with objects and images that I collected during a trip through the southwest and California. It would deal with travel, migration, and exodus, as well as contemporary graphics, advertising, and pop culture. I set the following parameters/objectives:
- Videotape the terrain at foot level as if the camera were attached to the front of a small vehicle.
- Create a convoy of collected action figures and miniature vehicles.
- Each day the convoy will travel in increments across the floor of the gallery.
- Convert the space into a reconstructed/deconstructed landscape through the use of large graphics referencing billboards and menus, pools representing bodies of water/seas/lakes, entry/exit portals representing the convoy’s origin and destination
- Pro-wrestler action figures will perform a 360 spiral on skateboards over the pool after emerging from the desert landscape, spinning, landing briefly, and bouncing up to continue their exodus into the southern desert.
- Each meal will be photographed/documented for the duration of the trip from New Orleans to the West Coast and back
