"Drive-By"
2001
Presented
i n association with Brooklyn Front Gallery and
the D.U.M.B.O. Art under the Bridge Festival
The
artist refers to this piece as a video projection
performance. The emphasis is on the action
and not the content of the video. The piece is titled
Drive-by because it is carried out in
the guerrilla manner of a drive-by shooting. The
audience is mostly approached unaware and have experienced
the event before they really have time to take it
all in.
The
audience got to see random moments from a video
sequence
depicting Times Square being projected repeatedly
onto a derelict block in Brooklyn. The block is
surrounded by a continuous, corrugated, galvanized,
iron fence, topped with razor wire. The car made
approximately 20 laps of the block.
