Prairie Letdown

1078 Gallery
Chico, CA
2003
Materials and Dimensions
Cardboard, blueprints
Description
Included are a loading dock at Home Depot, the Temple Mount, IKEA, Port-a-Johns. Be it the Unabomber’s cabin, the Ka’ab in Mecca, or a double-wide Peerless mobile home, everything was translated and misinterpreted with simplistic abandon: a litany of the humble and the ridiculous, the dramatic and tragic. What intrigue is at work when the front gate to Buchenwald ends up looking like Ford Motor Company’s Corporate Headquarters, or the holiest site in Mecca is a dead ringer for a cardboard box?
