Documentation of my recent installation at Associated at Open Source Gallery

From the release:

“Associated” is a site specific show in a severely damaged brownstone on 17th Street in South Slope, Brooklyn. Just after noon on 12 November 2010, a boiler exploded at the Associated Supermarket on 5th Avenue and 17th Street, igniting a fire that tore through the block, destroying Open Source Gallery. Next door to Open Source a three family house–the gallery owners’ home–was also rendered uninhabitable by firefighters’ efforts to stop the blaze. The exhibition, “Associated”, curated by Monika Wuhrer, Raphaela Riepl and Frank De Leon-Jones resurrects the derelict house with projects by 30 artists.

My installation was in the boys room. After cleaning out the broken glass, I arranged the boys’ belongings onto the bunk bed and setup a projection over the tableau. The projection is a Processing app which displays the text of the The Three Little Pigs. It uses the ASCII character codes of the text to calculate color and placement glitches.
