"Colonial Left" uninstalled today

111B The Commons has been rented (yay!).
Which means "Colonial Left" was taken down today (boo!).

This is the nature of the to Let program. We hope that spaces will become occupied and are glad to have the opportunity to show work in the mean time. Get a look at the current installations because you never know when they'll be gone.

Thanks to Michelle for creating a thoughtful piece - mimicking an antiques shop, a museum display and many a tacky '70's living room at the height of bicentennial mania - and questioning our relationship with colonialism. With Colonial Barbie!

Keep an eye out for new installations in empty spaces.

"Colonial Left" - M. Michelle Illuminato - 111B The Commons

Without thinking about it, we experience traces of our Colonial history in our everyday lives, from the Colonial-style mirror we look into in the morning to the wagon wheel in our neighbor’s front yard. We use these items without ever questioning how they came to us and what it means to incorporate them and by extension what they represent, in our lives.
