The Veiled Room, 1998 Material: Steel cable, polyester sheer fabric, TV monitor, video Dimensions: Variable Exhibitions:ACC Gallery in Weimar, Germany, 1998 Red Head Gallery, Toronto, Canada, 2003
The Veiled Room, a site-responsive installation, exhibited at the ACC Gallery in Weimar, Germany (1998) and The Red Head Gallery, Toronto (2003), examines the work of inheritance and the burden of history, probing the relationships that exist between moments of personal significance and events of global significance that impact us all. The legacy of the Weimar Republic is the central trope in this work. The short-lived Weimar Republic existed during a time of great intellectual ferment and creative activity. It was the rise of Hitler that marked the end of this period.
