Polling Place is an interactive installation and performance exhibited from October 7th to November 4th in the Schaudies Gallery at K Space Contemporary, Corpus Christi, Texas, as part of the "HUUUGE!... Outrageous Acts of Politics" art exhibition and from November 3rd to November 29th at the Art Gym, Denver, Colorado, as part of the "Political BS" art exhibition.
Conceptual statement:
Technically this is not an art piece.
This is a political process. You must choose between two things about which you do not know the whole story, and what you might know could very well be misinformation, intentionally or unintentionally. There is no way of knowing for sure. Nevertheless, the circumstances dictate that you still must make a choice. Other people have also made this choice and they might be no more or less informed than you.
When you make your choice you become a part of the process, you are the bridge which carries your choice from potential to completion. Art ends when the viewer has their experience.
This is a political process making a critical statement about art.
