Installation
ForShadows is an installation project that explores the constellation of life and work experiences of those who regularly occupy Minneapolis' Global Market, a location of cross-cultural exchange. Located in the context of a marketplace, this work makes itself accessible to the daily paths of those who work and visit the site, buying, eating and selling. This project asks us to consider how we might find ourselves new in our everyday relationships of consumption and exchange.
forShadows opens February 20th and runs through March 21, 2009.

Installation
An installation created as part of the exhibit “Silent Witness.” This piece invites the audience to walk through the space, and listen to sections of a story projected through speakers dropped from trees. The speakers broadcast sections of a story of escape from the Armenian genocide. Bookmarked on either side of the room are two monitors (see the opening video to the right).

Performance Installation
This piece incorporates two movers and one musician in an exploration of the sounds, pauses, stutters, images and content of a personal story. This piece is intended to function as a meditation on the role of personal narrative, the power of historical accounts against representations of such, and the transformation out of genocide both literally and psychologically as it passes on through generations.

Creator
1999
A pre-pubescent girl, a projected image of an eye, a sound score, and a live bull collaborated on the meaning of this piece. The exploration was in how unknown elements of a piece (live animal, child) can make new meanings in a representational framework.
