Work from The World’s Largest Pistachio

“A room built inside a room, posited as a sculpture. The room can be entered and also circumnavigated through narrow alleys. A three channel video presents text and images, also acting as a script for performances or “readings” that occurred at times during the exhibition. Large windows are cut in both the newly built room as well as the existing gallery wall, revealing a large 200 sq. ft. unused space behind it. The piece of drywall removed from sculpture’s wall is hung as a blue painting, the color that the back of the wall had been painted. The speaker is hooked up to a drum machine behind the security desk with which they report their already occurring body counts of the occupants of the room.” –Nick Bastis
