REFERENDUM
A
collaboration with Jen Kennedy
Six plexi
ballot boxes, three egg crates, recycled paper "ballots," laser printed
wallpaper, moveable walls, Brooklyn Museum visitors
48"x 72" x
36" each of the three REFERENDUM
installations
[REFERENDUM was installed in two locations
in the Brooklyn Museum, polling visitors to the Museum's lobby with,
“Do you call yourself a ‘feminist’?” and "Do you believe in equal
rights for women?" and then visitors to the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth
A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art with the question, “Do political
movements bearing the same name have to retain some of their
predecessors’ principles in order to be visible in their contemporary
moment?”

collaboration with Jen Kennedy.]
