Insurance Policy (building tampons after S, M, L, XL)

If according to Koolhaas, architecture determines programmatic function, the way we use space denotes our citizenship. How do sculptures perform history if the archival is evaporating into soft, cloud cities? This series of intimate scale solutions for dystopian problems in the form of building tampons at S, M, L, XL absorbency may be a critical resolve for dissolving public space.

Investment Pitch Proposal

Investment Pitch Proposal performance transfigures the audience into investors of political action via a timeshare development presentation in the Old Boys Club existing condition form. The Voorhees Conference Room in Times Square was converted to a critical capital wherein a diagrammatic powerpoint paralleling the development of cities with the growth of feminism reclaims the didactic. The developer audience conists of economists, philosophers, artists, architects, landscape architects, urban designers, financiers, and MILFs) who were asked to critically invest in the city bytaking a piece of the pie from the 1": 100,000' scale model of the edible city with chocolate building tampon insurance policy.

Redline Construction Performance

Reclaiming the didactic by tagging, redlining and critiquing the existing conditions of art and the pedestrian political thorofares, the installation lures passersby into an active political debate via site-specific architectural drawings. It is a human scale transformation of urban Refuse Voids (vacant construction sites) into Refuge- (reproductive political action), the City of Today Construction Redline performance capitalizes on the didactic strategies of the Department of Buildings to translate pedestrians into active citizens. Construction site tours are administered between failed site plans (dystopian City of Today drawings), and a nearby gallery space. The viewer takes action on their critique by defiling/grading the pristine drawings with his/her utopian commentaries.

Overpass 1 (tree fiber, vellum, arches, adhesive)

A weaving study for an urban scale sculpture intervention, the drawing is an identity threshold proposal based on DeCerteau's claim that buildings are logos for culture. Fabricating highway overpasses in the tradition of Inca Quipus, these drawings highlight the failure to merge suburban and urban female identities.
