A Sence of Time/ 1993, MoMA P.S.1. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA
Installation as part of my Artist in Residence 1992/3, MoMA PS1 Institute of Contemporary Arts, NY, USA.
This installation incorporated a forty-foot segmented plaster-cast subway seat-like structure with a galvanised underbelly housing chrome-topped light bulbs, reminiscent of the old abandoned dancehall venues in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, New York in the ’90s. Also in the space is a hand-printed oversized segmented black-and-white photograph of a crashing wave coming over the rocky shoreline, creating a sexual tension within the space, which was once a school building but still shows fragments of its scarred past. The third element is a vertical arc of plaster cast forms, using takeaway containers sandwiching a series of incandescent bulbs, forming a neon burger that creates artwork from our everyday throwaway world.
