SIGNS
Lindsay Hamilton’s installation takes as a starting point the idea of a future apocalyptic moment in a North American city where, after centuries of abandonment, the culture of street signage is viewed by a new race of creatures. At this future moment, our civilization is being reconstructed, investigated, as others seek to understand the history of the place through traffic markings. By obscuring the clarity of the sign through playing with scale, hybridizing, manipulating, pairing and arranging different symbols, new ways of viewing the standard symbols becomes articulated. The installation will be viewed in the dark, with headlamps and flashlights distributed to participants, who must navigate through the social spaces of the event seeking meaning in the reflective signs
Very cool. Are any of these installations available to view at Little Beaver, or do you have the space?
