Chamber, 1996

(Artist as specimen/voyeur)

Performance/Installation at the Grammercy International Art Fair, Chateau Marmont, Los Angeles, CA

Griffin Linton Gallery offered me the bedroom of their suite for the 4 day duration of the fair. I built a fiberglass and wooden box over the existing bed. The top of the box had security monitors mounted face-down (towards the bed), their cameras aimed around the room. I lay naked in the bed for the weekend observing those observing me. I wrote statistics and overheard bits of conversations on the underside of the top of the box.
