Installations
Saturn Devouring His Children
East Wall of
St. Sebastian Tom Sawyer Cathy Mishima Expo 67 POST
Oct 1997
"The
St. Sebastian Tom Sawyer Cathy Mishima Expo 67
installation was conceived as an experimental narrative circuit structurally analogous to any tragically-flawed-by-hubris utopian gesture, a ‘stations of the cross’ moving the viewer in a more-or-less counterclockwise loop in a deliberately non-coherent sequence of tableaux that relate in fits and starts to the titular thematic concerns. There were approximately sixteen discrete works included, including a miniature curated group show in one corner (with work by Tim Hawkinson, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Jeffrey Vallance, and others) alternately titled
Culturally Natural
and
Naturally Cultural
. There was an untitled school-project style Q-tip and Saran wrap model of Expo 67 and a soft pink upright cornucopia entitled
Late Proposal for the American Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal Canada
as well as several other elements."
