Title:

Drawings for two installations for the exhibition on James Wines at the Venice Biennale

Date:

circa 1999-2000

Description:

This item contains harmful materials including violent imagery. The drawing illustrates the discrete elements of an exhibition involving several large-scale installations. One of these installations shows a crane on which a net filled with mannequins is suspended; the mannequins are soaked in oil, in the words of the designers, to represent the impacts of oil spills on the global population. This image, however, suggests violence beyond environmental disasters.
