...between two points, 2001
Material: TV monitors. cables, shopping cart Dimensions: variable size: approx. 72 x 36 in. Exhibition: Part of Crossword, Broadview Collective group exhibition, The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, Bowmanville, ON, April 1-May 13, 2001. Curator: Margaret Rogers ....between two points (2001) consists of a hollowed-out tree trunk filled with 3 television monitors that play the same video loop of a highway (the highway between Montreal and Toronto which passes by Clarington), the waterway (referencing the St. Lawrence River) and the railway (videotaped on the go-train between Toronto and Oshawa). The monitor, the tape deck and wires are contained within a familiar metal shopping cart. The title refers to the truism, 'a straight line is the shortest distance between two points'. The title also references the impact of Toronto on Clarington which is developing into a sprawling suburban bedroom community of Toronto. |
