June 11, 1966 (Dreamers and Skirmishes), September
16 - November 6, 1999. Sculpture for: "The Searchers," Artists Space,
New York, NY. Curated by Robert Longo. Cardboard tubes, paper backed aluminum
foil, Super Sculpey. Dimensions: at the highest point: 5'4" to 4'3" at the
lowest point x 17' long x variable width.
This work takes the shape of a map of Viet Nam. On this map are miniature
mountain forms that act as markers for the numerous battles that took place
on the date specified in the title of the work. The foil and the changes in
elevation of the many circular shapes reference a flowing river, speaking
metaphorically of the war and the changes in ideologies of those that participated
in the event.
